内容简介
As the finale to Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest is not content to merely match the adrenaline-charged pace that made international bestsellers out of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and The Girl Who Played with Fire. Instead, it roars with an explosive storyline that blows the doors off the series and announces that the very best has been saved for last. A familiar evil lies in wait for Lisbeth Salander, but this time, she must do more than confront the miscreants of her past; she must destroy them. Much to her chagrin, survival requires her to place a great deal of faith in journalist Mikael Blomkvist and trust his judgment when the stakes are highest. To reveal more of the plot would be criminal, as Larsson's mastery of the unexpected is why millions have fallen hard for his work. But rest assured that the odds are again stacked, the challenges personal, and the action fraught with neck-snapping revelations in this snarling conclusion to a thrilling triad. This closing chapter to The Girl's pursuit of justice is guaranteed to leave readers both satisfied and saddened once the final page has been turned.
作者简介
斯蒂格·拉森，瑞典作家与新闻记者。曾任职于瑞典中央新闻通讯社，并于工作之余投身反法西斯主义的活动。一九九五年，他创办了Expo基金会，并自一九九九年开始担任基金会同名杂志主编。由于他长期致力于揭发瑞典极右派组织的不法行为，多年来一直受到程度或轻或重的死亡恐吓与威胁。这部小说中总是积极捍卫社会正义、不求个人名利的男主角，几乎就是拉森本人的化身。
拉森从二○○一年开始撰写“千禧年”系列小说，二○○四年完成三部曲后，竟不幸于十一月因心脏病突发辞世，来不及看见首曲《龙文身的女孩》在二○○五年出版，以及此系列小说售出全球超过三十四国版权、轰动全欧的盛况。随着第二部和第三部的出版，“千禧年”系列引发阅读热潮，雄踞欧洲各国畅销书排行榜，且历久不坠。此外，《龙文身的女孩》在二○○六年夺得北欧犯罪小说协会最佳犯罪小说“玻璃钥匙”奖；二○○八年，“千禧年”系列第三部《空中的城堡》（暂名）再度夺下“玻璃钥匙”奖。拉森打破纪录，成为瑞典有史以来第一位两度获颁该奖项的作家。二○○八年二月，拉森入选英国《每日电讯报》“一生必读的五十位犯罪小说作家”。二○○九年，拉森被选为“欧洲最具冲击力十大畅销小说家”，在榜单上排名超过丹·布朗与《暮光之城》作者斯蒂芬妮·梅尔，居于首位。据尼尔森公信榜统计，“千禧年三部曲”在二○一○年小说排行榜的前十位中占据五席，精装本与平装本通通上榜。
