You have only to do the first check. and now we have to reach some sort of agreement about what??s going to happen. Peter. Nieminen has been released.?? Erlander said. She said a stalker would never have written the email to the girl on the culture desk.
Part of it is probably that she??s very impressed by you and likes you a lot ?? as a boss. That would have required extensive access to the Swedish cable network. & E. Nystr?m saw that Ekstr?m had swallowed the bait. He went to open it and found the lawyer Annika Giannini.?? Blomkvist nodded.?? ??I find you incredibly attractive.P. It??s Zalachenko who??s the problem. Lundin should have been ready. ??What is it??? the P.?? ??And Bublanski knows nothing about this??? ??No. It was Armansky who had set this in train by giving information to someone he trusted.

Figuerola said. of Milton Security. she felt helpless and paralysed. Niedermann.?? ??So now you know the lay of the land.?? Edklinth nodded. that??s how it is.
?? Blomkvist said. This he had not for a moment expected. I can??t poke around in her skull and extract bullets. you??re not going to do anything for the moment.05. what??s he doing here??? ??Clinton has decided to return to active duty. Berger was editor-in-chief and therefore one of the few people who could demand that information from him. She smiled. She was then placed with a foster family. they knew what had provoked Lisbeth to do what she did. and S. as I said. Then she tried to fix her eyes on the doctor. Christer Sellberg. They told a fantastic story about a Russian defector who had come to Sweden. the total budget of the secret police was 2.S.?? he said at last.P. the houses are positioned with their gables facing each other. He had first come as an exchange researcher in the late ??70s and stayed for two years.?? Blomkvist said. She??s under arrest and all visitors are prohibited.?? ??Forgive me for mentioning this. she said.?? Modig said.
but I was waylaid by you. She was in luck. On Sunday morning they said a hasty goodbye before Berger drove home to her husband. what would you do??? ??I??d shut my eyes. It was the third time he had met Superintendent Nystr?m. We??re not going to kill the article. staring in bewilderment at the Palm. When the next two shots came she tried to get her legs over the edge of the bed. That??s what he put in the report. weighing her chances. At 7.

It was supposed to be left on for a few more days until the wound in her head began to heal. agents.?? Figuerola understood that Blomkvist was bluffing. Salander had no idea who the citizens of Hacker Republic were. so that we know exactly what our deadline is. and that was followed by a spate of disparaging remarks about Wasp??s mental abilities. but just before the trial begins we might be able to publish a whole feature that examines the accuracy of all the statements that have been made about Salander. ??What you have to understand is that the Section functions as the spear head for the total defence of the nation.?? ??So I heard. and he has to decide whether to bring charges.
and that over the years this conspiracy has committed what could be categorized as serious criminal acts. Second.?? ??What condition??? Sp?ngberg said sharply.40 that morning.?? Blomkvist told her the details of the story that Cortez had compiled. is still one of the big papers. He was suddenly aware of Nurse Nicander saying something.?? ??I??ve got you. And there??s a connection to Niedermann there too. Edklinth explained what Figuerola and her team had unearthed. She was given a local anaesthetic and afterwards the wound was sewn up with three stitches. * Salander was happy. a white blouse. I explained that I wanted information in advance on all proposed articles.?? ??I??m not sure exactly what I think. Then she clenched her teeth and concentrated on breathing. She turned the computer off at once and shoved it under her pillow. but the source was a fake. But a piece of lead inside her brain was a trauma of a wholly different magnitude. ??It won??t help to insult the police. but in A. with a broad experience.?? ??Do you have your car nearby??? ??The last time I checked it was in the parking space outside. it was out of the question.33. and he had heedlessly told her his real name ?C Zalachenko.

She raised her right hand and felt her head. but the letter to the Deputy Minister wasn??t logged in at the department until the following day.P. But I advise that you wait for the report from forensics. Then Edklinth turned serious. ??I??ll do it.?? Gullberg said. She could go back to Stockholm knowing that she might have to take the train to G?teborg again as soon as the following day. Wasp wrote. Blomkvist did not say anything about the implications of what she told him. Bjurman discovered the connection. Berger was in her B. And we would very much like to know what strategy they??re planning. Gullberg was suddenly a big player: he was welcomed with respect in the exclusive club of selected warriors.?? ??There??s a division of labour.H against Carl-Magnus Lundin at Stallarholmen ?C i. really??? Modig said. She was extraordinarily resourceful. What would his next step be??? ??He has to get out of Sweden. The software scanned every report and reacted to 310 keywords.

There were whores. and that won??t be until August. He had undergone a rather extensive operation in which a significant section of his jaw was realigned and fixed with titanium screws. ??I thought we could have a few words first.??

This assurance was enough for Baksi. She got up from the bed and made for the shower. but he supposed that since she had chosen such a striking tattoo. Gullberg had worked in Counter-Espionage.?? She burst out laughing.?? ??But there??s another gap I don??t really understand.D. The only spot from which the entrance door to the building could be observed directly was from the promenade and footbridge on upper Bellmansgatan near the Maria lift and the Laurinska building.?? ??Armansky??s detailed her to keep an eye on what goes on around my apartment. where she belongs. Sex was almost as satisfying as a rigorous workout at the gym. had been cheated out of a patent by a hot dot. She has hit the nail on the head. It??s a matter of how the investigation is carried out and how the facts are presented.?? Sellberg said.?? ??I??m only too happy to hear it.
People greeted her as she limped past the central desk. ??And how would that work??? asked the Minister of Justice. Francke was a bit of a cowboy who saw K. Then he spoke in a lighter tone of voice. of course.I.?? ??What do we do now??? ??I have no idea. interpellations. When he had five separate examples of a word. Nils Bjurman. which just happened to mean something to him. Don??t do anything until we can agree a strategy. I have to think about this. yes. Francke??? Figuerola said. He looked around the corridor and saw that he was being watched by nurses. Why did S?po always have to be such a nightmare to administer? ??The second part is: who is involved? And very specifically.?? ??You said there was no rush. The switchboard told her that it sounded like Susanne Linder. On the other hand. ??I can take care of Ekstr?m.?? All of a sudden Zalachenko looked uncertain. Before she removed the doorstop from the bedroom door.?? Dr Endrin said.?? ??What was the number??? ??I couldn??t possibly remember. And he??s fifty-eight with six years to go before retirement.
20 before Cortez called. she told him. If it hasn??t already happened. What happens now??? Waltari said.M. She had given him an especially long kiss that morning because he was flying to Paris to deliver some lectures and would not be back until the weekend.U. When Linder answered the telephone. ??I??ve spoken with Bublanski. but soon after he would have had to abandon the car in Finland. ??Dr Teleborian has been an external consultant for S. He was the one Bublanski sent to arrest Bj?rck.?? Edklinth said. at least several million kronor annually I??d say. But it??s very simple to fake an apparently legitimate address. It was a girl the same age as your patient here. I??m just so swamped here. These activities must be stopped. But I can give you the authority to conduct a one-man investigation. Something has come across my desk that is so remarkable that I believe both you and the Prime Minister need to be informed. ??You were lucky. S. little girl. heart and lungs shut down one after the other. It was Blomkvist??s front door.F.
In his opinion. It was in fact Bj?rck who had proposed the solution. you should set off the alarm. there is no ??we?? about it. Ekstr?m had remarkably little on the record about Zalachenko. she certainly isn??t easy to deal with. manoeuvring back and forth around his bed. a role that took on added significance in the wake of Wennerstr?m??s exposure as a double agent.?? Wadensj?? turned to Gullberg. Bj?rck had not acted alone.?? ??I need you. Her foot was aching badly. turned to the Minister of Justice. but she suggested that threats from a real stalker would be different. I??m worried there might be swelling or bleeding in the brain. ??No. small burn marks on his chest. ??Hmm. a matter of minutes.?? Figuerola said. They stopped at the same place in Kronoberg park as the day before. For several weeks they had been hunting Lisbeth Salander.?? ??The two have nothing to do with each other. He woke at 10. Thanks for coming. But this time it??s not a matter of them sacrificing a pawn ?C it??ll be a matter of them actively needing to limit the damage to themselves personally.
it was out of the question. Take a break. between the two of us. ??I think it??s time we had another talk with Justice. Surely? Edklinth felt cold shivers of apprehension.?? ??O. We have to suppose that he switched vehicles. lit a cigarette. ??Are we agreed that I pass this on to my contact??? Armansky said. They??re checking the apartment. We??ve had him under surveillance round the clock for the past week. Then she caught sight of a brass plate that read Milton Security. Bj?rck had traces of a strong painkiller in his blood. She??s made it plain that she wants you up and over to Bor?s to interview the woman. no need for the Foreign Minister. She was a woman who people usually paid attention to. was dissolved.?? ??We don??t know how this story??s going to turn out. But she isn??t Zalachenko. seventy-eight years old. What??s your take on this??? Wadensj?? said.?? ??It sounds as if you think I??m organizing some sort of conspiracy against you. Fire the Swedish workers and close the factories here. He defected in the ??70s. It was 2. and looked into the empty landing where the lifts were.
??You know??? Wadensj?? yelled. ??Lisbeth ?? I??m wondering ???? He then said nothing for such a long time that Salander almost asked what it was he wanted. Vitavara Inc. ??They met to discuss the forensic psychiatric report on Salander. But listen ?? I don??t want to discuss this for the same reason I??ve already given. I had no ??need to know??. ??What??s happened??? he said. My husband will be home in a couple of days. then it was with these lunatics. T. And now I have the world??s worst guilty conscience. But he had sent in the charger for her Palm. I don??t usually agree to this sort of unscheduled meeting. ??There??s always a choice. conducted a normal investigation. She looked around. But she did take some elementary safety precautions.?? She fell silent and stared at Annika. Our opponents ?C who include several high-powered figures and certain psychiatrists ?C are of course also preparing for the trial together with Prosecutor Ekstr?m. I??ll show you the way. Anything more would be just too painful. taller than he was. M?rtensson carries a portable photocopier with him.?? Berger could not bring herself to sit at Morander??s desk right away. If it is. He focused his gaze on the computer screen.
I??m a journalist and I work at Millennium magazine. A man carrying a brown briefcase stepped carefully down from the 7. This meant that they gave up far too easily; alternatively they spent too much time at the acute stage trying to work out exactly what was wrong with the patient so as to decide on the right treatment. He had treated a waitress whose legs had been scalded in an accident at a restaurant on Avenyn. And as you know. ??And who the hell is Evert Gullberg??? ??Retired. Some other names from outside S. I got a message that you were looking for me. Let me do it. V. ??Hello.?? ??That was Margareta Orring??s article. and then follows the hunt for Salander first. ??I doubt that. as Berger was going through the headlines on page two and discussing the texts with the head of revisions. so he pushed the sushi aside. ??If his plan was to go to Germany ?? Why would he drive to Stockholm? Shouldn??t he have made for Malm? and the bridge to Copenhagen. And the paedophile industry. there is a risk that her condition may continue to deteriorate. Blomkvist.?? ??It was my uncle Mahmut.00 Edklinth arrived. ??He knew that the whole Zalachenko affair was in danger of being exposed and that he risked a prison sentence for sex-trade crimes. The government collapsed again when the moderates jumped ship. sending a fax of a threatening letter that hadn??t yet reached its addressee. The buyers cheerfully pay what they are told it costs.
She was dressed for the office in black trousers. I??m quite sure that either Lundin or Nieminen was carrying the gun. ??So. Or was it clumsy? The only reason he first noticed the car was the registration number. Do you get along with her??? ??She??s alright. Figuerola saw the man in half-profile and memorized the registration number. ??I??ll gladly listen to other suggestions. he would look like an idiot. A . newly sharpened. and underwear. ??Oh yes. Ownership implies responsibility. thank you. right??? ??Of course. She stopped at the half-empty news desk and gave a friendly nod. over the summer. He did his military service in the ??40s and became an accountant or some such. But if Salander was shot and buried. he acquiesced. Edklinth turned to Blomkvist.?? ??As far as I know. He thought of them as the Inner Circle. of Milton Security. It would make a passable weapon ?C for stabbing a face or an eye. I can??t determine what it is.
M. makes its toilets to sell at 1700 kronor apiece??? Silence fell over the room. ??No.B. he had become involved.?? ??The culture section has three unfilled positions. I was never privy to the details. The shard of glass had penetrated so deeply that the bleeding would not stop. for which you bear the primary responsibility. nothing else matters. you??re asking us to run an operation against an influential magazine and the editor-in-chief of S.?? ??You want me to spy on a prosecutor who happens to be my superior??? Figuerola raised her eyebrows. the lawyer Annika Giannini. and fumbled for the talk button. I wrote it all by myself and sent it to everyone in the company. He switched on their headlights to illuminate a landing area in the field in front of the house. Then he hung his overcoat and jacket in the wardrobe behind the door. he could decide for himself what he wanted to do. You know what it??s all about. then pulled the forceps straight out. ??Clinton is tired. He??s out repairing the roof of the cabin. Berger jumped as though someone had fired a shot in her living room. you may regard me as her legal representative. She felt as if she had a stupendous hangover and the bed seemed to keep tilting backwards.?? Edklinth studied Malm??s photographs of a man getting into a car with a registration number that began with the letters KAB.
The notion of secrecy took on a whole new dimension. ??Your editor-in-chief??s untimely departure will create problems in the newsroom.?? ??Let him interrogate me. Lisbeth Salander??s trial will be starting in a couple of weeks. and in fact he??s already on his way. this was the first can of worms. but the news sort of got drowned out by all the turmoil surrounding Dag and Mia. The movie they had playfully made was definitely not for general release.?? he said. She lay on her back with the brace around her neck. and she felt no desire at all to engage with it. At 2. He??s one of the nastiest people I??ve ever met. will Millennium??s publication clash with our investigation. ??So who the fuck is minding the store while all of you hide away like a bunch of girls??? ??That??s not fair. She opened her laptop and summarized the situation in an email to Armansky.?? ??Why did Helena ask you to visit her??? ??Salander is starting to recover.?? His tone was again hostile.P. He put these swiftly into a side pocket of his laptop case. Figuerola apologized and said she must have dialled the wrong number. and his dealings with whores appear to have been going on for many years. ??I have to call for support. I??m editorial assistant now. Luckily the axe blow had struck his already crippled right leg.?? ??All food is decent.
and the car was empty.?? to differentiate it from ??the Division?? or ??the Firm. Salander is no longer a suspect. ??I have met Mikael Blomkvist on several occasions in the course of this investigation. He did not see anyone. ??But remember that it??s been an extreme situation. He reached into the pocket of his smock and took out the Sony Ericsson Z600 mobile.I. you have to realize that Salander is not only not guilty of these murders. Swedish workers were already out of that race in the ??90s. ??Try not to be furious with me.?? ??He??s dying. Ricky. The report was what finally put us on the right track. She studied the pencil.?? Blomkvist explained how F?lldin had reacted to the information about Zalachenko and how he had travelled to the Hague to interview Janeryd. She wanted to leap up and follow him. In view of his age. Last time he turned up on the ward unannounced and tried to persuade a nurse to let him in. she knew. he could never rid himself of the feeling that he was looking at an advertisement for something. She heard voices and all of a sudden her courage deserted her.C. In other words. a spring baton. The report was what finally put us on the right track.
Berger sat at her desk in the glass cage. ??Teleborian went straight to Ekstr?m. They had kept in touch and had gone on fishing trips to Norway and elsewhere. in the form of convicts. and asked him to brief the assembled company. Marita Ulfskog.?? ??So how is she involved??? ??This is an intricate story. ??Phenomenally intelligent.?? No such agents existed. Her own job was to keep tabs on the government departments and parliament on behalf of Millennium. and a person in that role is under no obligation to report his activities to the government. Plague. and I thought that he needed a break. Salander saw at once that she had the same eyes as Blomkvist. she was suffering from massive cyber-abstinence. ??What is it??? ??Well.?? ??No. We are both of us sorry that you were subjected to Paulsson??s rather primitive way of operating. After a while Jonasson glanced at his watch and saw that it was almost 7.?? Edklinth and Figuerola were instantly alert.. ??He??s turning north on Kungsgatan.?? ??But the present situation has arisen because you have been subject to a direct threat from a specific individual. Between the time when she had stepped on the shard of glass and Rosin??s arrival that morning. and he could not sit still for more than an hour before the pain in his hip became unbearable.?? Figuerola??s mobile played out the theme tune from Once Upon a Time in the West.

As soon as Blomkvist disconnected.K. ??What??? he said. I??m the head physician at St Stefan??s psychiatric clinic in Uppsala. Trinity wrote. ??How many times did you meet him??? ??He was at every meeting except one. She glanced at Blomkvist.00 in the evening. a de facto coup has taken place in Sweden.

Tell me.?? she added.R. ??I don??t want details of the investigation or anything like that.?? Ekstr?m nodded. That really would have thrown a spanner in the works.?? ??Not necessarily. Having my afternoon beer. into the living room. At first she could not make any sense of it. and then you have a month off.
?? ??Then we could run it in the June issue??? ??No problem.?? The discussion went on until lunchtime. parked at the corner.?? ??So you??ve discovered Salander??s hideout??? Modig said.P. First he handed over to Ola Ullsten. She had no idea where she was. She did not have much time. I talked to Teleborian. all of these crimes came under county police jurisdiction. Greger. But tell me this: is there anything at all to even suggest that Salander might be involved in some way in the murders? Could she and Niedermann have somehow committed the murders together??? ??I very much doubt it. The public register listed eighteen Susanne Linders in Stockholm county. leadership will have an unpleasant surprise. Did you try to call the police about what happened??? ??Yes.?? ??They want to take you over to the prison in G?teborg tonight. F?lldin could hardly still be an active farmer. We??ll try to isolate them in a lengthy investigation. He had at first worked in the field in the Personal Protection Unit. We have a man in the external organization.?? Blomkvist weighed the situation for a moment. Cortez had the weekend shift and Blomkvist found him again in the office in the evening. You??ve probably met some of them before. Whatever it was. You can take the lift instead of going up the stairs. had never set foot in the office in London where he supposedly worked.
at Sahlgrenska hospital in G?teborg.?? ??Good. you are aware of the concept of damage control. I??ve sent a team of externals to tail her. ??Satisfied??? ??It??s beautiful. F?lldin could hardly still be an active farmer. Giannini had only been there for a few minutes. The man in the blue overalls and the woman with the camera were unknown entities. he knows we??re going to find his prints on the gun. who with thirty thousand female soldiers and three thousand female cavalry swept through Egypt and Syria and all the way to the Aegean.?? ??O. He did not know where he was. She took hold of his shirtsleeve. His mind was spinning as he tried to digest the catastrophe. but we haven??t fixed on a distribution date yet. Micke. nothing. It was healing. It was not on the windowsill.A. ??There??s nothing in any report that I??ve seen from the Security Police that could have a bearing on this matter. and blood gushed from the wound. Then she went down to Hornsgaten and hailed a taxi.?? ??What do you think they did in the stairwell??? ??I don??t know.?? Blomkvist told her the details of the story that Cortez had compiled.?? ??You??ll get only one guarantee from me.

Since the events in Gosseberga his colleague had certainly become withdrawn and hard to communicate with. and if he made mistakes he would end up in prison. ??We also have Peter Teleborian.

She closed her door. and with all the wisdom of hindsight. But that??s now your third lie in about the same number of minutes.?? ??He was once one of the very best we had here in the Section. ??It would be terrible if she really has been subjected to the injustices that Millennium claims. pushed open the door. I??m only interested in the Zalachenko club. that is. He had spent much of Monday night and the early hours of Tuesday morning reading or at least skimming the books. Zalachenko scrutinized him for fifteen seconds. They could not do anything to solve her private problems. We chatted for a couple of minutes. If it were discovered I??d be charged with a crime and lose my licence to practise. The organization in London had been very willing to supply the evidence. Nobody would tell him anything. kill the whole story? Orring turned in a good piece. Jonas. If something went wrong.
Blomkvist went straight to the dining car and ordered more coffee and sandwiches. which she took back to her office. Every time the Section had to intervene discreetly and bail him out. should also be informed. He was asleep by 11. Jonasson leaned forward. For fun. which she planned to smoke by the vent window during the night. But she was on the path to recovery. The message on May Day has to touch on the immigrant integration question.M. Blomkvist had apparently reached the point in his story at which Paulsson had decided to ignore everything else he might say.I. Jonas crossed Olof Palmes Gata and turned up towards Sveav?gen. It was nothing to him if people wanted to dress up in costume.?? Modig said. A theatre nurse inserted a suction tube to remove any blood. or a fourteen-year-old boy whose left lung had been pierced by a screwdriver. Henry.M. Just then Karim called and told them that Teleborian had gone up on to Klarabergsgatan via the escalators in Central Station and from there to police headquarters on Kungsholmen.D. ??I??m sorry.?? He grabbed his laptop case and took the stairs instead of waiting for the lift. A whole bunch of experienced professionals who know how to do their jobs.000 kronor.

He very soon realized that Paulsson was a pompous. It was the only possible explanation. I didn??t make all this mess. I suppose you??re the one who has to make the decision about charging him ???? She looked at Jervas. She looked at the bloodied piece of glass in amazement. 2. It was his last editorial and it would be a crying shame not to print it. At around 11. suspected of attempting to murder the fugitive Lisbeth Salander.?? he said. ??How does Bjurman come into the story in the first place? You say he was the one who started the whole thing by contacting Zalachenko and asking him to kill Salander. ??I think you??re right. Then we??ll have to sign a contract.

Giannini went pale.B.?? ??I saw him a little while ago. I??ve never heard mention of this ?? what you call the Zalachenko club.P. Each mobile has its own unique signature ?C a fingerprint ?C in the form of the telephone number.?? ??Could you possibly reach her or anyone else on the investigative team who might be able to take a look in Prosecutor Ekstr?m??s corridor ?? to see if there??s a meeting going on in his office at the moment. black-and-white photograph on the desk.?? ??But that??s nothing new. Gullberg took a taxi to City Hotel on Lorensbergsgatan.?? she said. She instantly switched off her Palm and slipped it under the mattress. and when the man known as Trinity found himself on Sunday in the middle of the ?resundsbron. went to Salander??s office and picked up the telephone from the desk. His voice took on a confidential tone. ??Evert ?? I spend nine hours every other day on a dialysis machine at the hospital.?? ??I believe you. She put her hand over the mouthpiece and turned to the others. The inevitable media storm could lead only to one thing. Why would he do that??? ??I reckon he hired Zalachenko to get rid of Salander.

His name is David Rosin.?? ??Good man. ??May I say something??? ??Please do. But would you be willing. is that it??? ??Not exactly ?? I mean ?? geez. and I are tending towards the belief that Blomkvist is correct in claiming that the first three murders were committed by Niedermann. and a key player in the Russians?? offensive against western Europe in the ??70s. Zalachenko abused her mother so viciously that she spent most of her life in hospital. Is that alright with you two??? ??That??s fine. which consisted solely of numbers. You have only to do the first check. and now we have to reach some sort of agreement about what??s going to happen. Peter. Nieminen has been released.?? Erlander said.

Berger was editor-in-chief and therefore one of the few people who could demand that information from him. She smiled. She was then placed with a foster family. they knew what had provoked Lisbeth to do what she did. and S. as I said. Then she tried to fix her eyes on the doctor. Christer Sellberg. They told a fantastic story about a Russian defector who had come to Sweden. the total budget of the secret police was 2.S.?? he said at last.P. the houses are positioned with their gables facing each other. He had first come as an exchange researcher in the late ??70s and stayed for two years.?? Blomkvist said. She??s under arrest and all visitors are prohibited.?? ??Forgive me for mentioning this. she said.?? Modig said.

It was the third time he had met Superintendent Nystr?m. We??re not going to kill the article. staring in bewilderment at the Palm. When the next two shots came she tried to get her legs over the edge of the bed. That??s what he put in the report. weighing her chances. At 7.

Salander had no idea who the citizens of Hacker Republic were. so that we know exactly what our deadline is. and that was followed by a spate of disparaging remarks about Wasp??s mental abilities. but just before the trial begins we might be able to publish a whole feature that examines the accuracy of all the statements that have been made about Salander. ??What you have to understand is that the Section functions as the spear head for the total defence of the nation.?? ??So I heard. and he has to decide whether to bring charges.
and that over the years this conspiracy has committed what could be categorized as serious criminal acts. Second.?? ??What condition??? Sp?ngberg said sharply.40 that morning.?? Blomkvist told her the details of the story that Cortez had compiled. is still one of the big papers. He was suddenly aware of Nurse Nicander saying something.?? ??I??ve got you. And there??s a connection to Niedermann there too. Edklinth explained what Figuerola and her team had unearthed. She was given a local anaesthetic and afterwards the wound was sewn up with three stitches. * Salander was happy. a white blouse. I explained that I wanted information in advance on all proposed articles.?? ??I??m not sure exactly what I think. Then she clenched her teeth and concentrated on breathing. She turned the computer off at once and shoved it under her pillow. but the source was a fake. But a piece of lead inside her brain was a trauma of a wholly different magnitude. ??It won??t help to insult the police. but in A. with a broad experience.?? ??Do you have your car nearby??? ??The last time I checked it was in the parking space outside. it was out of the question.33. and he had heedlessly told her his real name ?C Zalachenko.
?? Edklinth frowned. and not chasing political mirages. She raised her right hand and felt her head. but the letter to the Deputy Minister wasn??t logged in at the department until the following day.P. But I advise that you wait for the report from forensics. Then Edklinth turned serious. ??I??ll do it.?? Gullberg said. She could go back to Stockholm knowing that she might have to take the train to G?teborg again as soon as the following day. Wasp wrote. Blomkvist did not say anything about the implications of what she told him. Bjurman discovered the connection. Berger was in her B. And we would very much like to know what strategy they??re planning. Gullberg was suddenly a big player: he was welcomed with respect in the exclusive club of selected warriors.?? ??There??s a division of labour.H against Carl-Magnus Lundin at Stallarholmen ?C i. really??? Modig said. She was extraordinarily resourceful. What would his next step be??? ??He has to get out of Sweden. The software scanned every report and reacted to 310 keywords. I ?C or rather.?? ??Teleborian is meeting Jonas at the Ring in Central Station at 3. but her face was otherwise expressionless. or skinhead.
There were whores. and that won??t be until August. He had undergone a rather extensive operation in which a significant section of his jaw was realigned and fixed with titanium screws. ??I thought we could have a few words first.?? Blomkvist said. and most assuredly not against his colleagues.-savvy. dried herself. She explained that the county police chief was at the Europol conference in Madrid. ??Good morning.?? This assurance was enough for Baksi. She got up from the bed and made for the shower. but he supposed that since she had chosen such a striking tattoo. Gullberg had worked in Counter-Espionage.?? She burst out laughing.?? ??But there??s another gap I don??t really understand.D. The only spot from which the entrance door to the building could be observed directly was from the promenade and footbridge on upper Bellmansgatan near the Maria lift and the Laurinska building.?? ??Armansky??s detailed her to keep an eye on what goes on around my apartment. where she belongs. Sex was almost as satisfying as a rigorous workout at the gym. had been cheated out of a patent by a hot dot. She has hit the nail on the head. It??s a matter of how the investigation is carried out and how the facts are presented.?? Sellberg said.?? ??I??m only too happy to hear it.
People greeted her as she limped past the central desk. ??And how would that work??? asked the Minister of Justice. Francke was a bit of a cowboy who saw K. Then he spoke in a lighter tone of voice. of course.I.?? ??What do we do now??? ??I have no idea. interpellations. When he had five separate examples of a word. Nils Bjurman. which just happened to mean something to him. Don??t do anything until we can agree a strategy. I have to think about this. yes. Francke??? Figuerola said. He looked around the corridor and saw that he was being watched by nurses. Why did S?po always have to be such a nightmare to administer? ??The second part is: who is involved? And very specifically.?? ??You said there was no rush. The switchboard told her that it sounded like Susanne Linder. On the other hand. ??I can take care of Ekstr?m.?? All of a sudden Zalachenko looked uncertain. Before she removed the doorstop from the bedroom door.?? Dr Endrin said.?? ??What was the number??? ??I couldn??t possibly remember. And he??s fifty-eight with six years to go before retirement.
20 before Cortez called. she told him. If it hasn??t already happened. What happens now??? Waltari said.M. She had given him an especially long kiss that morning because he was flying to Paris to deliver some lectures and would not be back until the weekend.U. When Linder answered the telephone. ??I??ve spoken with Bublanski. but soon after he would have had to abandon the car in Finland. ??Dr Teleborian has been an external consultant for S. He was the one Bublanski sent to arrest Bj?rck.?? Edklinth said. at least several million kronor annually I??d say. But it??s very simple to fake an apparently legitimate address. It was a girl the same age as your patient here. I??m just so swamped here. These activities must be stopped. But I can give you the authority to conduct a one-man investigation. Something has come across my desk that is so remarkable that I believe both you and the Prime Minister need to be informed. ??You were lucky. S. little girl. heart and lungs shut down one after the other. It was Blomkvist??s front door.F.
In his opinion. It was in fact Bj?rck who had proposed the solution. you should set off the alarm. there is no ??we?? about it. Ekstr?m had remarkably little on the record about Zalachenko. she certainly isn??t easy to deal with. manoeuvring back and forth around his bed. a role that took on added significance in the wake of Wennerstr?m??s exposure as a double agent.?? Wadensj?? turned to Gullberg. Bj?rck had not acted alone.?? ??I need you. Her foot was aching badly. turned to the Minister of Justice. but she suggested that threats from a real stalker would be different. I??m worried there might be swelling or bleeding in the brain. ??No. small burn marks on his chest. ??Hmm. a matter of minutes.?? Figuerola said. They stopped at the same place in Kronoberg park as the day before. For several weeks they had been hunting Lisbeth Salander.?? ??The two have nothing to do with each other. He woke at 10. Thanks for coming. But this time it??s not a matter of them sacrificing a pawn ?C it??ll be a matter of them actively needing to limit the damage to themselves personally.
it was out of the question. Take a break. between the two of us. ??I think it??s time we had another talk with Justice. Surely? Edklinth felt cold shivers of apprehension.?? ??O. We have to suppose that he switched vehicles. lit a cigarette. ??Are we agreed that I pass this on to my contact??? Armansky said. They??re checking the apartment. We??ve had him under surveillance round the clock for the past week. Then she caught sight of a brass plate that read Milton Security. Bj?rck had traces of a strong painkiller in his blood. She??s made it plain that she wants you up and over to Bor?s to interview the woman. no need for the Foreign Minister. She was a woman who people usually paid attention to. was dissolved.?? ??We don??t know how this story??s going to turn out. But she isn??t Zalachenko. seventy-eight years old. What??s your take on this??? Wadensj?? said.?? ??It sounds as if you think I??m organizing some sort of conspiracy against you. Fire the Swedish workers and close the factories here. He defected in the ??70s. It was 2. and looked into the empty landing where the lifts were.
??You know??? Wadensj?? yelled. ??Lisbeth ?? I??m wondering ???? He then said nothing for such a long time that Salander almost asked what it was he wanted. Vitavara Inc. ??They met to discuss the forensic psychiatric report on Salander. But listen ?? I don??t want to discuss this for the same reason I??ve already given. I had no ??need to know??. ??What??s happened??? he said. My husband will be home in a couple of days. then it was with these lunatics. T. And now I have the world??s worst guilty conscience. But he had sent in the charger for her Palm. I don??t usually agree to this sort of unscheduled meeting. ??There??s always a choice. conducted a normal investigation. She looked around. But she did take some elementary safety precautions.?? She fell silent and stared at Annika. Our opponents ?C who include several high-powered figures and certain psychiatrists ?C are of course also preparing for the trial together with Prosecutor Ekstr?m. I??ll show you the way. Anything more would be just too painful. taller than he was. M?rtensson carries a portable photocopier with him.?? Berger could not bring herself to sit at Morander??s desk right away. If it is. He focused his gaze on the computer screen.
I??m a journalist and I work at Millennium magazine. A man carrying a brown briefcase stepped carefully down from the 7. This meant that they gave up far too easily; alternatively they spent too much time at the acute stage trying to work out exactly what was wrong with the patient so as to decide on the right treatment. He had treated a waitress whose legs had been scalded in an accident at a restaurant on Avenyn. And as you know. ??And who the hell is Evert Gullberg??? ??Retired. Some other names from outside S. I got a message that you were looking for me. Let me do it. V. ??Hello.?? ??That was Margareta Orring??s article. and then follows the hunt for Salander first. ??I doubt that. as Berger was going through the headlines on page two and discussing the texts with the head of revisions. so he pushed the sushi aside. ??If his plan was to go to Germany ?? Why would he drive to Stockholm? Shouldn??t he have made for Malm? and the bridge to Copenhagen. And the paedophile industry. there is a risk that her condition may continue to deteriorate. Blomkvist.?? ??It was my uncle Mahmut.00 Edklinth arrived. ??He knew that the whole Zalachenko affair was in danger of being exposed and that he risked a prison sentence for sex-trade crimes. The government collapsed again when the moderates jumped ship. sending a fax of a threatening letter that hadn??t yet reached its addressee. The buyers cheerfully pay what they are told it costs.
She was dressed for the office in black trousers. I??m quite sure that either Lundin or Nieminen was carrying the gun. ??So. Or was it clumsy? The only reason he first noticed the car was the registration number. Do you get along with her??? ??She??s alright. Figuerola saw the man in half-profile and memorized the registration number. ??I??ll gladly listen to other suggestions. he would look like an idiot. A . newly sharpened. and underwear. ??Oh yes. Ownership implies responsibility. thank you. right??? ??Of course. She stopped at the half-empty news desk and gave a friendly nod. over the summer. He did his military service in the ??40s and became an accountant or some such. But if Salander was shot and buried. he acquiesced. Edklinth turned to Blomkvist.?? ??As far as I know. He thought of them as the Inner Circle. of Milton Security. It would make a passable weapon ?C for stabbing a face or an eye. I can??t determine what it is.
M. makes its toilets to sell at 1700 kronor apiece??? Silence fell over the room. ??No.B. he had become involved.?? ??The culture section has three unfilled positions. I was never privy to the details. The shard of glass had penetrated so deeply that the bleeding would not stop. for which you bear the primary responsibility. nothing else matters. you??re asking us to run an operation against an influential magazine and the editor-in-chief of S.?? ??You want me to spy on a prosecutor who happens to be my superior??? Figuerola raised her eyebrows. the lawyer Annika Giannini. and fumbled for the talk button. I wrote it all by myself and sent it to everyone in the company. He switched on their headlights to illuminate a landing area in the field in front of the house. Then he hung his overcoat and jacket in the wardrobe behind the door. he could decide for himself what he wanted to do. You know what it??s all about. then pulled the forceps straight out. ??Clinton is tired. He??s out repairing the roof of the cabin. Berger jumped as though someone had fired a shot in her living room. you may regard me as her legal representative. She felt as if she had a stupendous hangover and the bed seemed to keep tilting backwards.?? Edklinth studied Malm??s photographs of a man getting into a car with a registration number that began with the letters KAB.
The notion of secrecy took on a whole new dimension. ??Your editor-in-chief??s untimely departure will create problems in the newsroom.?? ??Let him interrogate me. Lisbeth Salander??s trial will be starting in a couple of weeks. and in fact he??s already on his way. this was the first can of worms. but the news sort of got drowned out by all the turmoil surrounding Dag and Mia. The movie they had playfully made was definitely not for general release.?? he said. She lay on her back with the brace around her neck. and she felt no desire at all to engage with it. At 2. He??s one of the nastiest people I??ve ever met. will Millennium??s publication clash with our investigation. ??So who the fuck is minding the store while all of you hide away like a bunch of girls??? ??That??s not fair. She opened her laptop and summarized the situation in an email to Armansky.?? ??Why did Helena ask you to visit her??? ??Salander is starting to recover.?? His tone was again hostile.P. He put these swiftly into a side pocket of his laptop case. Figuerola apologized and said she must have dialled the wrong number. and his dealings with whores appear to have been going on for many years. ??I have to call for support. I??m editorial assistant now. Luckily the axe blow had struck his already crippled right leg.?? ??All food is decent.
and the car was empty.?? to differentiate it from ??the Division?? or ??the Firm. Salander is no longer a suspect. ??I have met Mikael Blomkvist on several occasions in the course of this investigation. He did not see anyone. ??But remember that it??s been an extreme situation. He reached into the pocket of his smock and took out the Sony Ericsson Z600 mobile.I. you have to realize that Salander is not only not guilty of these murders. Swedish workers were already out of that race in the ??90s. ??Try not to be furious with me.?? ??He??s dying. Ricky. The report was what finally put us on the right track. She studied the pencil.?? Blomkvist explained how F?lldin had reacted to the information about Zalachenko and how he had travelled to the Hague to interview Janeryd. She wanted to leap up and follow him. In view of his age. Last time he turned up on the ward unannounced and tried to persuade a nurse to let him in. she knew. he could never rid himself of the feeling that he was looking at an advertisement for something. She heard voices and all of a sudden her courage deserted her.C. In other words. a spring baton. The report was what finally put us on the right track.
Berger sat at her desk in the glass cage. ??Teleborian went straight to Ekstr?m. They had kept in touch and had gone on fishing trips to Norway and elsewhere. in the form of convicts. and asked him to brief the assembled company. Marita Ulfskog.?? ??So how is she involved??? ??This is an intricate story. ??Phenomenally intelligent.?? No such agents existed. Her own job was to keep tabs on the government departments and parliament on behalf of Millennium. and a person in that role is under no obligation to report his activities to the government. Plague. and I thought that he needed a break. Salander saw at once that she had the same eyes as Blomkvist. she was suffering from massive cyber-abstinence. ??What is it??? ??Well.?? ??No. We are both of us sorry that you were subjected to Paulsson??s rather primitive way of operating. After a while Jonasson glanced at his watch and saw that it was almost 7.?? Edklinth and Figuerola were instantly alert.. ??He??s turning north on Kungsgatan.?? ??But the present situation has arisen because you have been subject to a direct threat from a specific individual. Between the time when she had stepped on the shard of glass and Rosin??s arrival that morning. and he could not sit still for more than an hour before the pain in his hip became unbearable.?? Figuerola??s mobile played out the theme tune from Once Upon a Time in the West.
right out of journalism school. she flipped open her mobile and pressed a speed-dial number.?? ??How old are you??? ??Twenty-seven. but he made a note of every deviation from the norm in his working day.?? As soon as Blomkvist disconnected.K. ??What??? he said. I??m the head physician at St Stefan??s psychiatric clinic in Uppsala. Trinity wrote. ??How many times did you meet him??? ??He was at every meeting except one. She glanced at Blomkvist.00 in the evening. a de facto coup has taken place in Sweden. Her anxiety lay like a heavy fog over the house. Some years earlier that post had been occupied by the notorious Colonel Wennerstr?m. Tell me.?? she added.R. ??I don??t want details of the investigation or anything like that.?? Ekstr?m nodded. That really would have thrown a spanner in the works.?? ??Not necessarily. Having my afternoon beer. into the living room. At first she could not make any sense of it. and then you have a month off.
?? ??Then we could run it in the June issue??? ??No problem.?? The discussion went on until lunchtime. parked at the corner.?? ??So you??ve discovered Salander??s hideout??? Modig said.P. First he handed over to Ola Ullsten. She had no idea where she was. She did not have much time. I talked to Teleborian. all of these crimes came under county police jurisdiction. Greger. But tell me this: is there anything at all to even suggest that Salander might be involved in some way in the murders? Could she and Niedermann have somehow committed the murders together??? ??I very much doubt it. The public register listed eighteen Susanne Linders in Stockholm county. leadership will have an unpleasant surprise. Did you try to call the police about what happened??? ??Yes.?? ??They want to take you over to the prison in G?teborg tonight. F?lldin could hardly still be an active farmer. We??ll try to isolate them in a lengthy investigation. He had at first worked in the field in the Personal Protection Unit. We have a man in the external organization.?? Blomkvist weighed the situation for a moment. Cortez had the weekend shift and Blomkvist found him again in the office in the evening. You??ve probably met some of them before. Whatever it was. You can take the lift instead of going up the stairs. had never set foot in the office in London where he supposedly worked.
at Sahlgrenska hospital in G?teborg.?? ??Good. you are aware of the concept of damage control. I??ve sent a team of externals to tail her. ??Satisfied??? ??It??s beautiful. F?lldin could hardly still be an active farmer. Giannini had only been there for a few minutes. The man in the blue overalls and the woman with the camera were unknown entities. he knows we??re going to find his prints on the gun. who with thirty thousand female soldiers and three thousand female cavalry swept through Egypt and Syria and all the way to the Aegean.?? ??O. He did not know where he was. She took hold of his shirtsleeve. His mind was spinning as he tried to digest the catastrophe. but we haven??t fixed on a distribution date yet. Micke. nothing. It was healing. It was not on the windowsill.A. ??There??s nothing in any report that I??ve seen from the Security Police that could have a bearing on this matter. and blood gushed from the wound. Then she went down to Hornsgaten and hailed a taxi.?? ??What do you think they did in the stairwell??? ??I don??t know.?? Blomkvist told her the details of the story that Cortez had compiled.?? ??You??ll get only one guarantee from me.
as set out in the government??s instruction. Since the events in Gosseberga his colleague had certainly become withdrawn and hard to communicate with. and if he made mistakes he would end up in prison. ??We also have Peter Teleborian. I haven??t told anybody. He took the tunnelbana to City Hall. who did the bookkeeping one day a week. ??Maybe you??re just bothered by seeing a girl with muscles. She closed her door. and with all the wisdom of hindsight. But that??s now your third lie in about the same number of minutes.?? ??He was once one of the very best we had here in the Section. ??It would be terrible if she really has been subjected to the injustices that Millennium claims. pushed open the door. I??m only interested in the Zalachenko club. that is. He had spent much of Monday night and the early hours of Tuesday morning reading or at least skimming the books. Zalachenko scrutinized him for fifteen seconds. They could not do anything to solve her private problems. We chatted for a couple of minutes. If it were discovered I??d be charged with a crime and lose my licence to practise. The organization in London had been very willing to supply the evidence. Nobody would tell him anything. kill the whole story? Orring turned in a good piece. Jonas. If something went wrong.
Blomkvist went straight to the dining car and ordered more coffee and sandwiches. which she took back to her office. Every time the Section had to intervene discreetly and bail him out. should also be informed. He was asleep by 11. Jonasson leaned forward. For fun. which she planned to smoke by the vent window during the night. But she was on the path to recovery. The message on May Day has to touch on the immigrant integration question.M. Blomkvist had apparently reached the point in his story at which Paulsson had decided to ignore everything else he might say.I. Jonas crossed Olof Palmes Gata and turned up towards Sveav?gen. It was nothing to him if people wanted to dress up in costume.?? Modig said. A theatre nurse inserted a suction tube to remove any blood. or a fourteen-year-old boy whose left lung had been pierced by a screwdriver. Henry.M. Just then Karim called and told them that Teleborian had gone up on to Klarabergsgatan via the escalators in Central Station and from there to police headquarters on Kungsholmen.D. ??I??m sorry.?? He grabbed his laptop case and took the stairs instead of waiting for the lift. A whole bunch of experienced professionals who know how to do their jobs.000 kronor.
she had called her husband to tell him. The rest of the investigation concerning Niedermann would be handled by Ekstr?m himself. about two hours later than usual. Let??s meet tonight at 9. He very soon realized that Paulsson was a pompous. It was the only possible explanation. I didn??t make all this mess. I suppose you??re the one who has to make the decision about charging him ???? She looked at Jervas. She looked at the bloodied piece of glass in amazement. 2. It was his last editorial and it would be a crying shame not to print it. At around 11. suspected of attempting to murder the fugitive Lisbeth Salander.?? he said. ??How does Bjurman come into the story in the first place? You say he was the one who started the whole thing by contacting Zalachenko and asking him to kill Salander. ??I think you??re right. Then we??ll have to sign a contract. S. turning to Blomkvist. ??O. straight into his pocket. She wanted to get to know Salander.?? ??I heard that you had a disagreement about a headline with Anders Holm. It??s like this.?? ??Not so. His voice took on a confidential tone.

it was no longer possible to monitor his mobile. but also not a nutcase. ??Evert Gullberg. all these questions depend on the decision you make in the next few minutes. Then he heard movement behind him and felt his knees buckle. Right now we have about thirty officers working directly on the investigation. That??s not a bad step up from this sorry little rag. Gullberg assigned Bj?rck to babysit the defector almost around the clock. I??m worried there might be swelling or bleeding in the brain. His companion. Your career might be ruined. who was once more reading his book. where everyone knew everyone else. ??I??m going to Kungsholmen now. Malm was never quite sure whether Blomkvist was paranoid by nature or if he had paranormal gifts. Camilla. with a few exceptions. A pro. He??s at his best when things heat up. had succeeded in averting a suicide and managed to turn the spy in question into a double agent. She had got used to his visits. The scandals had undoubtedly been many.?? ??Lisbeth???? ??Wait. Then he went to the hall to get his bag.K. and that was annoying.
Even a falling-down drunk Professor Ellis is several classes better than I could ever be when it comes to assessing brain damage. as you can see. especially when the violence was directed at full-grown men. It was a delicate task requiring great wisdom and judicial restraint.47. drive out here. but we can make a few assumptions.?? ??And Salander??? ??She??s part of what makes it so interesting. ??There??s one thing I??m curious about ?? were you really going to betray us after all we??ve done for you??? ??What do you think??? ??It depends how crazy you are. but does this mean that Ekstr?m is working for the Section??? Blomkvist frowned. Instead of going back up the hill to Tavastgatan. taking a folder from his briefcase.?? She gave him a suspicious look.?? Nystr?m said. She spectacularly kicked the shit out of two complete thugs from Svavelsj? M.?? ??If I??ve understood the matter correctly.I. and picked up the three A4 pages that comprised the meagre results of their search for Niedermann. We cut off the arrow shaft and put her head in a C.M. And there??s a connection to Niedermann there too. Without actually uttering a single inappropriate word. ??I need a favour. she was locked up in a mental hospital. Hmm. this is only between you and me.
??Can I ask you what you think of Wadensj??. This is just an extra job for me.?? ??I myself would have checked into a hotel. May I offer you some coffee. Karim and Malm (against his will) had thus become temporary assistant editors at Millennium. painkillers. He withdrew cash from an A.?? * Berger was slightly annoyed when she walked into Samir??s Cauldron. Nils Bjurman. He had seen me and pointed his pistol at me.?? ??Hmm. or whatever his name was. Zalachenko. he knows we??re going to find his prints on the gun.33. ??I??m in G?teborg. Hmm. the police and hospital administration had agreed that Salander should remain in room eighteen for the time being. Can you bring me up to speed so that I can get the hang of what??s going on??? ??What happened here tonight is the culmination of the murders of two friends of mine in Enskede. Then she shrugged. He had tried to get into her room. But he did call Erika Berger on his mobile and told her the situation.?? Eriksson said. He was an agent for the Soviets?? G. so he never had anything to hand over to Palme. As long as Giannini did not mention the matter.
S.?? ??Aha. ??What you have to understand is that the Section functions as the spear head for the total defence of the nation. The younger blond man here.?? ??Lisbeth Salander has become a government matter. He??s ambitious. you say??? ??I don??t believe F?lldin would have covered up something like this. opening the message only if it was something that caught her attention. but he had lived in north London since childhood.?? Bublanski said.30. ??Well ?? that??s good. ??As you no doubt know. Edklinth turned to Blomkvist. to foreign intelligence services. ??The lamp??? ??The ceiling lamp has fingerprints from the owner of the cabin ?C who put it up two years ago ?C and Bj?rck himself. and contained an improved version of her program Asphyxia 1. I don??t know why. Nobody would tell him anything.5 steps.?? ??Right. All the time she expected someone to call and tell her that pictures of her were posted on some website. ordered the report confiscated from the police ?C it??s not to be disseminated or copied. The secret we both protected during my administration is now the subject of some very serious questions.?? she said in English in a low voice. and I don??t mean to criticize him.
She saw Blomkvist glance down Tavastgatan. of course not.?? Silence. you control the operation.?? he said. Most of them never come here.O. That medication had been prescribed for him. Gullberg blames Zalachenko for everything from the Palme assassination to trying to poison the Swedish people with chlorine. for example. then we have a constitutional crisis on our hands. and present a first outline of the strategy that she and Blomkvist had cobbled together to deal with the legal proceedings. at 8. She had measured the window and discovered that her head would fit through it and that she would not have much problem squeezing the rest of her body through. and a key player in the Russians?? offensive against western Europe in the ??70s. ??I think you can. ??May I ask a personal question??? She looked at him. He knew things about her that she would never want published. Control was everything. Armansky had begun to tell him the story of Lisbeth Salander. I??ll be starting at another publication. But she did not want to leave the car and start walking around the area. May I ask ?? who among you was Morander??s closest confidant??? A brief silence followed as the staff looked at each other.?? ??Good. The second institution was the Security Police division for Constitutional Protection. ??Thanks.
You know. The other had screamed ??fucking nigger?? several times at the manager and forced him to lie on the floor. I work for Armansky. I??m a doctor. but he??s putting in an equal amount of time on your story.?? ??F?lldin lives in ?s. the footnotes often referred to articles in the evening newspapers.

She went upstairs. ??Facing south.?? ??No. She??s made it plain that she wants you up and over to Bor?s to interview the woman.?? ??And did they bother to come out here??? ??Not really.

Blomkvist frowned. Instead of going back up the hill to Tavastgatan. taking a folder from his briefcase.?? She gave him a suspicious look.?? Nystr?m said.
