Marker, segnali d’allarme
En italien – New York, Manhattan General Hospital: persone sane e giovani, sottoposte a interventi di routine, muoiono ventiquattr’ore dopo l’operazione.

La dottoressa si getta a capofitto nell’indagine, anche se ostacolata da superiori e colleghi che pensano si tratti di pure coincidenze.

Che qualcuno abbia bisogno di materia su sui fare esperimenti? Il tempo scorre rapido ed è necessario trovare una soluzione all’enigma anche per salvare la vita alla stessa Laurie, che, positiva a un marker tumorale, scoprirà di avere un legame particolare con la vicenda…

The Golden Egg
En Anglais – In The Golden Egg, as the first leaves of autumn begin to fall, Vice Questore Patta asks Brunetti to look into a minor shop-keeping violation committed by the mayor's future daughter-in-law. Brunetti has no interest in helping his boss amass political favors, but he has little choice but to comply. Then Brunetti's wife, Paola, comes to him with a request of her own. The mentally handicapped man who worked at their dry cleaner has just died of a sleeping pill overdose, and Paola loathes the idea that he lived and died without anyone noticing him, or helping him.Brunetti begins to investigate the death and is surprised when he finds nothing on the man: no birth certificate, no passport, no driver's license, no credit cards. As far as the Italian government is concerned, he never existed. Stranger still, the dead man's mother refuses to speak to the police, and assures Brunetti that her son's identification papers were stolen in a burglary.
Millénium 3 – La reine dans le palais des courants d’air
Après avoir échappé de peu à la mort, Lisbeth Salander se remet difficilement de ses blessures dans une chambre d’hôpital. Incapable physiquement d’agir, elle a de surcroît été placée en isolement et sous surveillance policière, car elle est encore sous le coup de plusieurs chefs d’accusation. La voilà coincée, donc, mais pas inactive, d’autant qu’un patient soigné dans une chambre voisine a de très sérieux et très anciens comptes à régler avec elle… De son côté, Mikael Blomkvist se démène pour innocenter et réhabiliter la jeune femme. Ses recherches lèvent le voile sur les plus inavouables activités de certains services secrets, mais les sombres personnages autour desquels se resserre son enquête ne vont pas se laisser menacer sans réagir. Le troisième volume de Millénium promet poussées d’adrénaline, insoutenable suspense et scènes terribles, mais la pire épreuve pour le lecteur consistera à se séparer des personnages à la fin de ce dernier volet de l’irrésistible trilogie.
