What to expect

'Fresh, fearless, faithful and original. One of the great crime series of our time could not be in safer, more capable hands' Chris Whitaker

Discover Lisbeth Salander - one of the most memorable female characters in all crime fiction.

Spring returns to Sweden's far north, but darkness lies at the heart of the small town of Gasskas. Natural resources in the region are being shamelessly exploited by shadowy multinationals, opposed only by Lisbeth Salander's niece Svala and a group of environmental activists. What begins as a protest spins out of control when a young journalist is found murdered.

Journalist Mikael Blomkvist, who has taken a new job at the Gasskas newspaper, starts the investigation and unravels a story that has the makings of an explosive scandal.

At the same time, Lisbeth Salander is desperate to track down her old hacker friend, Plague, who has disappeared. When it becomes clear that both she and Svala are on a secret underworld hit list, Lisbeth decides to go to war with old and new enemies alike . . .

With The Girl with Ice in her Veins, Karin Smirnoff has created a stunning sequel that breathes new life into this all-time thriller classic.

Critics Review

Fresh, fearless, faithful and original. One of the great crime series of our time could not be in safer, more capable hands.
Chris Whitaker
The Girl With Ice in Her Veins would be memorable for its over the top characters alone, but the book's mounting tensions and moral horrors guarantee that it is fully up to the standard of its celebrated predecessors.
Wall Street Journal
Smirnoff's spin on the Millennium series exposes the characters' emotional vulnerabilities without sacrificing the series' complexity and unflinching thrills. This episode deftly explores multi-faceted loyalties and coming-of-age amidst a war waged on power hungry villainy.
Booklist
Lisbeth Salander is back-and maybe better than ever. Karin Smirnoff's take is both respectful of the past and ready for the future-altogether remarkable.
