The girl who kicked the hornets’ nest – Millenium III
Lisbeth Salander is plotting her revenge – against the man who tried to kill her, and against the government institutions that very nearly destroyed her life. But it is not going to be a straightforward campaign. After taking a bullet to the head, Salander is under close supervision in Intensive Care, and is set to face trial for three murders and one attempted murder on her eventual release. With the help of journalist Mikael Blomkvist and his researchers at Millennium magazine, Salander must not only prove her innocence, but identify and denounce the corrupt politicians that have allowed the vulnerable to become victims of abuse and violence. Once a victim herself, Salander is now ready to fight back.

The bodies left behind
En anglais – When a night-time call to 911 from a secluded Wisconsin vacation house is cut short, offduty deputy Brynn McKenzie leaves her husband and son at the dinner table and drives up to Lake Mondac to investigate. Was it a misdial or an aborted crime report ? Brynn stumbles onto a scene of true horror and narrowly escapes from two professional criminals. She and a terrified visitor to the weekend house, Michelle, flee into the woods in a race for their lives. As different as night and day, and stripped of modern-day resources, Brynn, a tough deputy with a difficult past, and Michelle, a pampered city girl, must overcome their natural reluctance to trust each other and learn to use their wits and courage to survive the relentless pursuit. The deputy’s disappearance spurs both her troubled son and her new husband into action, while the incident sets in motion Brynn’s loyal fellow deputies and elements from Milwaukee’s underside. These various forces race along inexorably toward the novel’s gritty and stunning conclusion.

Une radioscopie de pensées parfois contradictoires, parfois déconcertantes, mais toujours parfaitement assumées. Dans ces entretiens menés tout au long de l'année 2008, elle a accepté que je fixe la règle du jeu. À travers les mille détails de la vie, ces conversations portent sur les questions essentielles : Comment se reconstruire après l'échec? Comment réinventer la politique? Comment tenir son rôle, quel que soit ce rôle ? Une année dans la vie d'une femme française au destin si peu ordinaire. Toujours debout. Déjà dans le jour d'après. Déjà tournée vers 2012.
