I wasn??t the one who found him. Poison. she certainly isn??t easy to deal with.

Edklinth had told her: no rings in the water.?? His tone was again hostile. ??Gullberg. The focus has shifted to Niedermann. This time of year every cabin owner is out checking their property. When Blomkvist checked his mobile. Have you eaten??? ??It??s 8. And how are you feeling today??? ??O.?? ??I think you??d better explain. Salander??s story was pretty much done. Lottie will follow Teleborian. ??A constant guilty conscience. What do you want with me??? She was surprised. Nothing unusual about this.?? ??Take it easy. of course he is. But a source in the police whom I trust tells me that the evidence in each case is woolly.30 she made Berger call S. no listed mobile.?? Figuerola said: ??What do we do about Blomkvist??? ??In what sense??? ??We promised to give him feedback if we uncovered anything about Clinton and von Rottinger. It was beautiful and well done.?? ??I think you have to do a bit more physio on your shoulder muscles.iv Zalachenko had been awake for eight hours when Inspectors Modig and Erlander came to his room at 7.

But the thing with Borgsj? is going to be a real problem.?? ??I think you??d better explain.?? ??How do you know that??? ??Gullberg met Prime Minister F?lldin six weeks after Zalachenko??s defection.

The apartment isn??t a good place right now.?? ??The pathologist wrote that there were graze wounds. Erlander did not like the situation. and he has backing from higher up in the bureaucracy. a long time and he??s been news chief for fifteen years. the names of today??s participants must not be mentioned in your articles.?? Modig raised her eyebrows.?? ??So Salander was supposedly armed with a taser. but there wasn??t anywhere else to park. From a practical point of view she could see why her lawyer kept going on and on about details from her past. ??He??ll be home by 5. a killer and wife beater whose name was Alexander Zalachenko.?? ??Well. She tried 52553. Salander waited patiently. Now that he had crutches. They were the ones who had taken care of Zalachenko.?? ??Some girl. He was furious. Zealous. She wondered how she would have reacted if someone had broken into her place and stolen the D.?? Blomkvist said. They also discussed the future structure of the magazine. narcotics and sex trafficking. How should I deal with it??? ??I don??t have the energy to think that through right now. Please come to the point. then.

But the thing with Borgsj? is going to be a real problem. In addition. I??ve had threats before.P. I??ve seldom had a healthier patient. Monica. ??I??m thinking of doing just that. it means that a group of officers within S. could blithely reveal her most intimate secrets to a bunch of completely unknown freaks on the Internet.

It was only when he heard the details and studied Malm??s photographs that he reluctantly admitted that Blomkvist had good reason to be suspicious. or someone close to him. We can??t refuse to publish when we have a source who makes a specific claim. Agneta Sofia Salander. Andersson??s expression was neutral. The Section had its offices at Kungsholmen. Here too are the original documents from the correspondence between him and Teleborian. Incoming calls were simpler because they were preceded by the fingerprint that would enable the telephone in question to receive the signal. Which do you prefer??? Salander considered the choice. I wonder ???? ??Yes??? ??She was so covered with dirt.?? ??And you??ve done all this today ???? ??If you??re threatened in your home then you have a safe room into which you can barricade yourself. but bit by bit she gathered that a man was being sought for the killing. a little sense of responsibility would not hurt. The two men discovered that they liked each other a good deal. It must be some insult.?? Edklinth said. Modig had to take the question. Which was not very likely. ??Twenty-two.

But one thing is for sure ?C I don??t mean to spend the rest of it in this glass cage.?? ??But you two ?? he??ll publish it??? Armansky gave a curt nod. a role that took on added significance in the wake of Wennerstr?m??s exposure as a double agent. Finally his uneasiness took the upper hand.?? ??O. And here in the Section we function principally as report recipients. We don??t know his last name. He went down to the hotel??s breakfast room.T.

The woman came to the living-room doorway and asked if Gullberg would like anything. She wondered whether she could manage to get out of bed. No doubt about that. I??m at home. Mikael Blomkvist.

Someone had taken the trouble to find out where she lived.

She??s been doing so well lately. ??Phenomenally intelligent.

and Superintendent Edklinth took on this responsibility with the utmost seriousness. She had her own film of a personal nature which showed how Advokat Bastard Bjurman had raped her.?? Modig nodded. Annika Bloody Giannini was most likely on her side. Somehow he had to establish contact with her. straight into his pocket. She was ice-cold and stiff.

I can tell you that I see no sign of mental illness. and he was offering her a chance to escape in a very different way. Suddenly she swayed. She had heard the man explain to a nurse right outside her door that he had to see Herr Karl Axel Bodin on an urgent matter.

Despite the fact that she kept urging her client to answer questions from the police. He walked across the street and through the front door of an 1890s building. He was twenty-six years old and had been at Millennium for four years. Over the years Edklinth had been an impassioned advocate of the establishment of a constitutional court. Then he smiled. Don??t misunderstand me. She began to have doubts about the ability of the Security Police to protect her. She could not tell how bad the situation was. Blomkvist closed the door behind him. Normally he would borrow Berger??s car. and we don??t have a single informer who knows him or has any idea where he might be. The business section has one.?? Wadensj?? said.P.??

You??ve been damned good as assistant editor. having met her before. ??Whole books will probably be written about this first part. I??ve read Bj?rck??s report. ??The outline story is pretty much correct. He had an office on Stureplan. Finally she looked up and met Blomkvist??s eyes. ??I can see that. Then he sat on the edge of the bed and untied the strings of her nightshirt.?? Blomkvist smiled at her. Swedish workers were already out of that race in the ??90s. You were injured and you??re waking up after an operation. nor did he have the feeling that he was being watched or followed. I went through Forelius.?? Blomkvist gave him a wan smile. If the plan failed. All the time she expected someone to call and tell her that pictures of her were posted on some website. peeling off a large part of the flesh on the right side of his face and tugging at his eye socket. She scrolled back and read through the text of a section where she told how Advokat Bjurman had violently and sadistically raped her. and you don??t need a lot of muscle to fracture a jaw. He waited until she nodded. But he was absolutely not a friend. If the situation had been reversed ?C if S.?? ??That??s not the only reason.

Blomkvist explained the background and why F?lldin had written to him. ??I just spoke to a nurse at Sahlgrenska.?? Wadensj?? said. Fredriksson was definitely a candidate. layout artists and others. He saw that he had missed six calls in the past twenty-four hours: three from Cortez. It won??t exactly bolster Salander??s credibility.?? said Bublanski in a darker tone of voice. a policeman.

The arrow went straight through her brain. I think you ought to see a doctor.30 she made Berger call S. Erlander gave her a cool smile.

??O.?? Her lips curled a little. Finally Berger heard a voice from the left side of the room. He had also to resolve how to profile Salander in the article without violating her trust. The budget chief and the C. She tugged her lip. Careers were built on Zalachenko.00 on Saturday night.?? Berger said.?? ??What should we do??? Jervas thought for a moment. She thought.?? ??Good.?? ??Let??s hear it. but it could be used as evidence that the meeting had taken place. albeit just for a couple of days.S.?? ??I??d rather you didn??t.?? Silence.?? Andersson waved his hand. 3. which in this case is a bit of a handicap. That was how he lit upon Zalachenko. It had been two days now since the break-in.?? ??That??s what I wanted to discuss with you. In that case. and she discovered that some S?po activists are running illegal telephone taps and breaking into my apartment and stealing things.?? ??Rubbish.

?? ??You can absolutely rely on me as long as you don??t reveal that you??re engaged in any sort of criminal activity. ??Have we heard anything from Faste. Seconds later they had set off down the corridor. It was a brief report. ??Is that what awaits us??? he said.?? Modig said. She discovered that the group had two members ?C herself and Blomkvist. I don??t usually agree to this sort of unscheduled meeting.S. ??Good morning. When you??ve read it I want you to come again.?? ??And what are you going to do??? ??I don??t know. Then he put on some jeans and the maroon sweatshirt that needed washing. For a second she felt as though she would faint.?? Gullberg said then with such coldness in his voice that Zalachenko froze. the Social Democrats having been in power for more than forty years. for a fee of 30. ??Rescue Service helicopter coming in.

She was increasingly dependent on Fredriksson??s judgement in the light of her loss of confidence in Anders Holm. He did this after studying a video from Ekstr?m??s press conference. If you need to talk. Zalachenko was used to pain. of course. That??s just about the riskiest thing we could do.

You??ll have your share of clashes with him. The events in Gosseberga seemed already like the distant past.M. Remember what it was like during the Wennerstr?m affair.?? ??I know. He served in G?teborg before he moved to Trollh?ttan.?? ??Tell me how I??m supposed to do that if I have a stalker after me??? ??You see to it that he never has a chance to get close to you. He knew that the lawyer Giannini was in the room. and there he murdered the club??s treasurer and ?C we may assume ?C went off with an unspecified sum of money. It sounds a little cryptic.

The first thing she did was to check the protocol number. series. In Personal Protection they believed that M?rtensson had been loaned out to Counter-Espionage. if I understood correctly ?C is to clean corridor 11C.

They agreed that the situation might be more serious than S?po had at first assumed. Now! Teleborian is meeting Jonas at the Ring in Central Station at 3.?? ??If anything should happen.?? ??Tell me what happened from the moment you arrived at Sahlgrenska until you were attacked. If she had been charged with the murders of Dag and Mia. Then I can tell you that I like neither your tone nor your evasions nor your lies. ??What were you told about that group??? ??Nothing. It??s cheap and far below what I would charge if I took the job for Milton. Malin Eriksson. And you don??t have to answer if you don??t want to. Either we ancients step in and do our bit. ??Agneta ?? it??s up to you to decide whether you want to initiate a preliminary investigation against Blomkvist. and showed Zalachenko his I.00 on Wednesday morning and went for an unusually short run before she showered and dressed in black jeans.

That??s why I??ve decided to choose a reporter and steer him in the right direction so that we won??t end up with our trousers down when Millennium comes out. as you know. On the one hand.

Blomkvist had told her once how Salander had put paid to the serial killer Martin Vanger with a golf club. The police had locked her in her hospital room.?? ??Some girl. Slip. He took the stairs down to the ground floor.?? ??They always said that he was being handled in the customary way and that the information he provided was being processed through the appropriate channels.?? Gullberg and Wadensj?? glared at each other for a long moment. say.?? ??Do you think she??s in danger??? ??I know of nothing to indicate that she is. All the police reports on the case were collected up at S. In her rear-view mirror she saw the man in the blue overalls turn into Br?nnkyrkagatan. Then he screwed on the cover again. do you know anything at all about the murderer??? ??Not a thing. There must be chiefs. After a moment he nodded. you??re released from all other duties. Then he took a taxi to Artillerigatan in ?stermalm..?? ??I see. which she planned to smoke by the vent window during the night. ??Three weeks at S.I. 82 of whom were women.I. That was one of the things he liked best about his office. The important thing right now was to consolidate their forces.?? Gullberg looked at Sandberg with blank astonishment.

and turned on the T. ??I??m fearing the worst. I presume. ??A source within the investigation claims that Lisbeth is non compos mentis. after all. He knocked at the front door.?? ??The two have nothing to do with each other. or that you don??t care??? ??I don??t know.?? Blomkvist entered police headquarters on Kungsholmen through the entrance on Polhemsgatan. but as soon as anyone came out on to the street. darling.?? ??Good.?? Zalachenko??s eyes narrowed. of course I??ll come with you. As far as we can determine at the moment.?? After the meeting with Borgsj?. May I ask ?? who among you was Morander??s closest confidant??? A brief silence followed as the staff looked at each other. and ate a late but nutritious dinner.C.B.?? ??Palmgren??? ??Yes. that would be nice. Figuerola then called the assistant head of the personnel department. The Zalachenko folder.?? She had not expected Jonasson to make special visits to see her. this is not a joke.B.

P. the door to her room was always locked and guarded by a fucking hit-man from Securitas. This is a unique situation and applies only to Salander. expecting that he would be asked to smuggle something in for her. not through official channels and bureaucratic regulations. And Cortez was just a young whippersnapper. In practice it was a ridiculous situation ?C Millennium was making a profit. They do marketing analyses and have annual sales of around thirty million kronor.

The usual.?? ??So what are you planning.?? ??To be honest with you.00 p. ??So what??s this all about??? he said when they had got their coffee.?? ??I know. but after everything that was in the media about her it seems a bit hard to swallow that Salander could be completely innocent. He defected in the ??70s. He said that he couldn??t know who would be going to the Hague. manager. He looked as if he wanted to say something. he actually slept in the car coming down from Nossebro. and then he remembered that he had booked himself a room in City Hotel.

She had caught up with him just as he was leaving for home; she had suggested a conversation over a cup of coffee. Blomkvist supposed that she had not planned to come back. ??My dear Mikael. one of them the globally recognized International Joint Effort Against Child Labour in London.?? ??We??ll use the whole front page and move everything else back. and that she knows about the case. but nevertheless I don??t want to know any more than I already do about the content of the next two issues. The stalker then took the opportunity to get into the house. all this stuff about Zalachenko is highly classified. The government has the power to adopt a wide range of measures in the event that breaches of the constitution are threatened. there is that possibility.?? ??What??? ??It??s on the top floor. ??I haven??t got my bearings yet.S.01. but he has massive brain damage. who was much more agreeable. But first he had to get a grip on the chaos that Svavelsj? M. she had called her husband to tell him.

he had gone back in time and described Zalachenko??s arrival in Sweden. ??Everyone??s here. M?rtensson and his companion were talking in low voices.A. From a practical point of view she could see why her lawyer kept going on and on about details from her past. originally from Ume? in northern Sweden.?? ??You would be a source.?? ??I notice that you have golf clubs planted here and there around the house. everything was quiet. You??re a man who gets more than his fair share of action. She thought for a moment. Lisbeth Salander is not psychotic.?? ??O. Gullberg stared at it with distaste.?? ??We understand that. Panic and terror had dogged her through the night. Armansky??s first thought was that the man was paranoid. she needs this. If he??s planning to get out of the country as fast as hell then we could help him on his way. Giannini had only been there for a few minutes. we have to be able to offer him something substantial.00 she got up and drove to S. It took her a few seconds to make the connection.?? Trinity said.00.?? ??Hans Faste is back on duty. You don??t have to be afraid.

This too touched on the core of the responsibility delegated to the Constitutional Protection Unit. She wanted to know what charges she was intending to bring against Salander.?? Edklinth and Figuerola read through at the text before them.00. In the course of the day Figuerola??s team had interviewed a number of people now retired from the Swedish Atomic Energy Agency. even though this time there was no strap holding her down. weighing it in his hand. who described her as emotional. Blomkvist was suddenly awake and he did not know why. We??re going to be talking to each other quite a lot. There really was a conspiracy inside S.?? Nilsson muttered. I talked to Teleborian. ??Fair enough. That was one thing. well. The headline that Berger had decided to use was suddenly replaced by something entirely different. She has secrets I happen to know about.?? Just before noon there was a knock on the door and a uniformed officer delivered a document to Sp?ngberg. She put down the report and focused her attention on other aspects of the information that Edklinth had given her. ??An analysis of the blood will probably establish that Salander was buried here. He remembered him as thin with a narrow moustache. testing his sense of balance. He tried again to call Gullberg.?? ??No. She has been called a psychopath. Salander bit her lip.

but there??s no sign of him. I haven??t told anybody. the officer who had worked with the financial police. She put down the notebook. 2. and he wasn??t sure how things would turn out at the magazine.?? ??In other words. I was in the police for six years and I??ve worked at Milton for four. She knew that on Walpurgis Night she had had her twenty-seventh birthday. There??s a darker area here. Figuerola nodded and thought for a few seconds. ??If any of you need a little personal time. He would have to turn to the chief to secure political support for what he was working on.?? ??I see.?? ??It??s a question of saving money we??re not going to have.?? ??What??s that??? ??Well. but he could not work out what it was. but she already knew it would be impossible to explain this away.O. ??But we have other urgent problems.I. it was Bj?rck who set this whole mess rolling. Another seven messages were those so-called ??Nigeria letters?? from the widow of the former head of a bank in Abu Dhabi offering her ludicrous sums of money if she would only assist with a small sum of start-up money.?? There was a long silence. To put it simply. What did you say? Helsing?rsgatan.?? Berger could not bring herself to sit at Morander??s desk right away.

?? ??If he has gone. but nothing from Poison Pen.R. Pred.I.?? ??I know. First of all. She changed the ring to silent and leaned back in her chair. listened in vain to a vast number of calls to and from police headquarters and the surrounding buildings.?? Eriksson realized with terrible clarity how understaffed the paper was. right ?? here??s what it says in the daily memo: quote. Salander??s clothes were cut away. he sat on the floor next to the bench and kept a watchful eye on Salander. At 2. She knew that on Walpurgis Night she had had her twenty-seventh birthday. Blomkvist would have to be a witness for the prosecution. He turned left on to Kungsgatan. Damn it.?? ??Well ???? ??The original report is an account of Lisbeth Salander??s attempt to murder her father.P.M. but I??ll probably be following him pretty soon. that requires evaluating a person??s credibility and general mental health. It??s like this.?? ??If that was all there was to it. They were officers used to investigating real crimes. they don??t have the evidence.

She immediately pinged Blomkvist??s I. ??Tell me your plan.?? ??All food is decent. ??I presume you have good reason for such secrecy.00 a. He had given them a clear description of her injuries and the bullet wound in her head. It was through this organization that the young man was brought to the attention of the Section and recruited. and consulted a list.
