?? ??Indeed??? ??But morally it??s the right thing to do.P. and he seemed unconcerned with prestige. He sat there stunned.?? ??Do you have an idea where he might be heading??? ??No. I can??t do it ?? that would be presumptuous of me.?? ??No. The reason was simple. Then Gullberg turned to Sandberg. so we have to solve the problem of who??s going to be in charge of the editorial section. the kidnapping of Miriam Wu. but she had always known. Then Falun waited on the landing as Sandberg went in. the IB affair.?? ??Meanwhile. A total of twelve. On Sunday morning they said a hasty goodbye before Berger drove home to her husband.

He asked her to lean forward and placed the stethoscope on her back to listen to her lungs. He had nothing against women in veils. which in turn is sole owner of a subsidiary called Vitavara Inc. Everybody??s off work. She relaxed and waited.K. Lassinanti had been astonished and had informed the government chancellor. such as the Formation of Government and the Right to Freedom of Organization. But the free papers. Figuerola was out of luck. his uncle took him to a farm well away from Mosul and there. ??Good morning. although endorsed by the highest authorities within the Security Police.?? ??You can absolutely rely on me as long as you don??t reveal that you??re engaged in any sort of criminal activity.?? ??True enough.
and I can??t direct what prosecutors and the courts decide. and if I were you I wouldn??t voice that theory in public. Therefore Niedermann was obliged to kill him.V.00. ??We have to try to tone this down. and about evaluating the political suitability of individuals in sensitive positions. If Niedermann were ever apprehended. The only thing he seemed capable of grasping was that the badly damaged girl being cared for by the medics on the floor next to the kitchen bench was the triple murderer Lisbeth Salander..

?? ??Annika. making the Section responsible for Zalachenko??s safety and debriefing. I??m a friend. there is no ??we?? about it. as a result of which Wu was rescued from certain death. He asked Blomkvist to take a seat at the table next to a dresser on which were a dozen framed photographs. She tore electrodes and I. have you got anything new??? ??Nothing I haven??t already told you on the phone. He??s not married. He gripped the base of the bullet.?? ??So you??ve discovered Salander??s hideout??? Modig said. a pervert. and what the routines are in that section. I don??t want a single ?re from Armansky or Kalle Blomkvist. ??Dr Teleborian has been an external consultant for S. She went downstairs to put on some coffee and for the first time since she had started at S. ??It might be as early as this weekend.
I??d really like to read the infamous report. On four separate occasions Gullberg tried to have Bergling removed.?? Cortez repeated. I??m perfectly aware that this is going to create difficulties in the office. His colleagues all frowned. The situation was urgent. but really that seems his most logical course.?? ??Speaking of which. and the like. and then he produced rolls and coffee from a thermos.?? ??He succeeded in getting a policeman killed tonight. ??Thanks. Mikael and Malin have been working like demons. People who could bug an apartment as easily as get into one without breaking a lock. He had not been to Stockholm for two years. The body produces a pain-suppressing chemical and you become addicted to it.??? Blomkvist said.
??I??m not competent to judge whether or not Salander is mentally ill. It was three storeys to the ground.

On this third visit Ekstr?m would be given answers to several of the questions he had asked earlier. but stopped when she saw the woman head for the Pressbyr?n kiosk instead of through the turnstiles. ??Are you sure??? ??Yep. a man who well-trained men would avoid getting into a fight with. one more time ?? what part of my instructions did you not understand???

Transfers of that kind had to be approved by the chief of Secretariat.30 he was checking into a small hotel about fifteen minutes?? walk from the Hague??s Centraal Station. But their proposal to shut down the Swedish government was not an idle threat.?? ??Salander. Millennium. maybe three.
You won??t win any points with the Trades Union Federation. which reported to the police commission or the justice department. A brilliant administrator who balanced the budget. and as a doctor he was not the least bit interested in the answer to that question. I want G?ransson and his bitch to be found as soon as possible. but he could not work out what it was. She raised her right hand and felt her head. He told Paulsson he was an incompetent fool and yelled at him that Torstensson and Ingemarsson should fucking forget about untying Niedermann until they had called for back-up. leaning her crutches against his desk as she sat down in the visitor??s chair. She found a message from Susanne Linder.?? They walked the short distance without talking.?? ??Of course. his alias.B.?? ??You said there was no rush. No elaboration was forthcoming. who nodded.

Clinton and von Rottinger were the ones who took the lead.?? ??Is that so??? F?lldin said. But if he can??t handle the fact that you screwed up one time in twenty years. Lundin has been arrested for kidnapping Miriam. I??m all ears.?? Blomkvist explained how F?lldin had reacted to the information about Zalachenko and how he had travelled to the Hague to interview Janeryd. Then F?lldin was re-elected and our meetings were resumed. He had brushed up his prose. Are you the kind of man who??ll want to arm-wrestle me??? ??You mean.
We??re calling the report ??E. Then she made some coffee and called Armansky.?? ??That would be a mistake.P. How could he find the remainder of the Section? Eriksson might be right: it might be impossible. May I ask ?? who among you was Morander??s closest confidant??? A brief silence followed as the staff looked at each other. and in the end the price burden falls on the renters or the taxpayers. I couldn??t cope with the arrogant lingo on the squad. What an excellent tool the Internet was for freaks. There are sites on the Net that you can use to send anonymous mail. That was a surprise.M. He warmly recommended that she be given the care she quite clearly needed. If this gets out. ??The problem is that the closest car we have at night is in Nacka centre. Bj?rck messed around with teenage prostitutes and Millennium were going to expose him. editor-in-chief.
but it??s difficult to believe that the entire Swedish media has been duped in the same way ???? ??Salander has been the object of a media frenzy. I??m thinking of turning him loose this afternoon. The plane would take off from Arlanda at 2. But. She could not see the blue overalls. It was 7. that she could watch to relax. I assume you will ignore it. they displayed towards her an attitude that was so antediluvian it was almost comical. ??But we have more urgent issues to talk about. and nobody became a member of this exclusive club without very strong recommendations.?? ??Don??t be. ??Could I give you a piece of advice??? ??Of course. She had been working fifteen hours a day since May 1. so he was far from wide awake when he reached to answer it. according to a witness. but it could be used as evidence that the meeting had taken place.
?? ??But he did drive to Stockholm and to Svavelsj?. He knew that the helicopter was coming in in the nick of time.m. Lena Nygren. as a matter of fact. She may be as sane as you and me. Seven individuals who over the coming years would constitute a special Section within the Section. I??ve had threats before. From the moment in mid-April when Bj?rck??s report was stolen and Blomkvist realized that he was under surveillance. ??Please explain what the government has directed. Two of Figuerola??s team were going to keep working. who had been at ?hlens department store buying a birthday present for her husband. Francke was a bit of a cowboy who saw K. to get up. One result of this increased workload was that Eriksson had had to contract several freelancers to produce articles for future issues. They had arranged for him to have the best rehabilitative care. She felt an intense desire to move.
But before the end of the year we will have to eliminate ten positions. Blomkvist thought.?? ??If you want to keep working at S. Figuerola went implacably on.?? ??If I??ve understood the matter correctly.?? Cortez said. Day-to-day stuff they could and should do on their own mobiles. ??Hello. of all places.?? she said. Blomkvist was irresponsible and kept vanishing on another of his mysterious trips. and which he wants S. He went there off his own bat. and what sort of background they have.?? Edklinth turned to Blomkvist. We installed a steel safety door. one of which was a relatively complicated and widely reported safecracking heist at a department store in V?ster?s.
You must not talk to anyone else in the Security Police.U. We??ll put it out in at the same time as the trial. ??Monday.?? She sat utterly still. Lisbeth Salander. Holmberg had been tasked to work out how Bj?rck had died. She was a pretty.?? ??I??ve got you. with an address near Norrtull in Stockholm. The pain in her left shoulder had subsided a bit. which dealt with the Wennerstr?m affair.?? ??You require things of me??? ??Yes. He pulled away from the curb and disappeared from view. freelance consultants ?? he put Blomkvist into the category of freelance consultant. That is worrisome. please speak up.
The national vehicle register had just informed him that the car he had seen at the top of Bellmansgatan with the blonde woman inside was owned by Monica Figuerola. and we won??t know the extent or severity of her injuries until she regains consciousness.?? The lights were out at G?ransson??s place when Nieminen and Waltari drove up in the twilight. He issued a directive putting S?po in sole charge of the defector. ??Thanks. she called the duty officer at Nacka Integrated Protection. Illegal weapons are more serious. Malm wanted to know what had happened in Gosseberga. which he considered a pretty clever idea. He??ll understand. but she worked so furiously on her projects that she was encouraged to go home when the day was done.?? Giannini smiled. and I??ll tell you when and what I plan to publish. I??m at a disadvantage no matter what I do.?? ??Can you tell me what happened this morning??? Giannini related what she had seen and heard and how she had reacted up until the moment she had barricaded herself with Salander in the bathroom. they had made it clear to him that Zalachenko and the Section were going their separate ways. Berger was aware that her objections were being systematically stonewalled by Flodin and Sellberg.
??I ?? I can??t discuss this matter. and fell asleep with photographs of gross child pornography whirling through his mind. Peter.?? ??I think it??s probably longer than that. Holmberg??s father was a city councillor for the Centre Party in the ??70s. uninvited. no question??? ??Yes. It was the most horrendous thing I??ve ever experienced.?? ??Why was that??? ??He was sweet.?? ??So how do we proceed??? Sp?ngberg wondered.?? ??That??s good.?? He nodded curtly once before he went out and locked the door.S. Bj?rck was a mystery. On principle.?? ??Do you have any weaknesses??? ??I don??t read fiction. if I??ve understood correctly.

At a critical stage of the investigation they needed to know how the person in question might react if subjected to a great deal of stress
At a critical stage of the investigation they needed to know how the person in question might react if subjected to a great deal of stress. and it might also be illegal.B. The old comrades shook hands. She banged her head hard. and I haven??t been able to tell Mikael. Suddenly he found it difficult to sleep. Dr Sivarnandan of the Ersta rehabilitation home had been less than enchanted at the idea of letting him out. As things stood. It had been developed by the U. the fate of Sweden rests in your hands. What kind of car is it??? ??A dark-blue 1991 Renault. I??m quite sure Henry would agree to that. electing to remove the bullet. a hand-picked state secretary. He thought about calling reception and ordering coffee. Vinge had entitled his memoirs S?po Chief 1962?C1970.
Francke. Gunnar Bj?rck.00 p. First of all. and the events that led to her being locked away in St Stefan??s in Uppsala.?? ??Exactly. She changed the ring to silent and leaned back in her chair. Not me. Before his release. I took certain measures. Swedish workers were already out of that race in the ??90s.?? he said. The conflict between you and your daughter can explain your fear of her and why you took such drastic measures ?? but I??m afraid we??re talking about your doing some time in prison.?? ??I understand you. He??s never referred to in any newspaper or trade journal. which was the reason for his going and why Berger was to start several months earlier than originally announced.M.
Bublanski was also wearing a kippa.?? ??You misunderstand me. He had been key as a consultant in connection with Counter-Espionage??s surveillance of a suspected industrial spy. ??Right now I??ll settle for charges of grievous bodily harm or attempted murder.?? ??Uh ?? there must be some sort of misunderstanding. But listen ?? I don??t want to discuss this for the same reason I??ve already given. 4. Good cop. who did the bookkeeping one day a week. ??You want my co-operation. Someone wanted to sell her Viagra.?? ??That doesn??t sound so good. He went back to the cabin as fast as his aching back would permit. but the letter to the Deputy Minister wasn??t logged in at the department until the following day.?? She turned to Borgsj?. The work was routine.?? She stopped and smiled at him.
N. She wondered whether he was an ostentatious nouveau riche.?? ??Maybe so. Leaving the restaurant she had stuffed it into her pocket instead of putting it back in her briefcase.?? Blomkvist said. Or rather ?? the differences that exist might be of a legal nature. ??Interesting. On the other hand it??s now clear that Ekstr?m is going to bring charges against Salander. I??ve been considering bringing him in here. And then they had stumbled upon that bitch Salander ?C all alone. No matter what. ??That means that Zalachenko was murdered by the Section. The best thing would be if he was found with a bullet in his head. Blomkvist calls them ??the Zalachenko club??. and most assuredly not against his colleagues.?? ??I??ll give the go-ahead tomorrow. pointing at the photograph.
and as discreetly as possible. Suspicious of everything around him. ??Who is this woman. Berger had already decided that she would be able to depend on Fredriksson??s insights when she took command of the ship. She explained that the county police chief was at the Europol conference in Madrid. To this day I have no idea why he died.?? ??I know.?? ??I know. These linguistic skills were one of the reasons he was recruited by the Security Police in 1950. She could not sit up even.?? There was impatient muttering around the table. Lundin.?? ??Alright. Not tonight. I understand all that. She stood up. was a seriously big mistake.
His mouth was dry so his first stop was a corner shop where he bought a Pepsi. in 1976 when Zalachenko defected. also to coincide with the trial.?? ??He??s an artist.00. But what does a twenty-year-old do who wants to move out of the family home? They can??t afford to. ever since a woman Member of Parliament had received death threats. was born in Dalarna to a family that had lived in Sweden at least since the time of Gustavus Vasa in the sixteenth century. ??Hi. ??I need a favour. And then the key witness. had imported goods from a company on the United Nations blacklist of companies using child labour ?C and in this case slave labour too.?? ??I understand that. where he asked to used the fax machine. and in this case it??s regrettable since it shouldn??t be necessary. that he might attract attention. She immediately hired Milton Security to take over her personal protection.
?? ??I know. And it had to happen sooner or later.?? he said. apparently with a serious wound to the face. I can get rid of the dead meat and recruit new blood from outside if I choose. the media regarded S?po as an excellent news source. Is that what you??re saying??? ??No. would have to be superhuman. Illegal tapping is the domain of government authorities. ??No. But the majority of the workers are convicts. Afterwards the discussion went on for almost three hours. He knew that his guesswork was on the mark when Edklinth??s eyes widened. The meeting had lasted forty minutes. But she also felt tremendously depressed.?? ??What I??m wondering is whether you consider the source to be reliable. She was in a bad way.
piecing together what had happened overnight. ??Do you have anything against a Milton employee staying here? I could call and find out if my colleague Susanne Linder is free tonight. Just tell us.00 p.10 he took the tram to Angered and got off in the centre of town.?? ??Apart from the two nurses. When Salander was twelve. ??Either you or Svantesson will have to take over her case.?? Modig said in apology.

Gullberg chose from the beginning to inform only one person in S. ??Borgsj? is chairman and majority shareholder of a company called Svea Construction. Having my afternoon beer. ??It??s all about getting Ekstr?m to split the two cases. and a person in that role is under no obligation to report his activities to the government. Salander got up from the edge of the bed and went to the window.
Holmberg threw up his hands in a helpless gesture. Instead he made his second mistake: he offered to hand over the weapon he had in his jacket pocket ?C the Colt .?? she said. And at the same time. Berger was editor-in-chief and therefore one of the few people who could demand that information from him. that he saw visions ?C ghosts even. Just a few years after Palme??s assassination that was still a sensitive issue. He had to deal with Teleborian. ??I??ve spoken with Bublanski.?? Figuerola said. It was Blomkvist??s front door. I can take you all down.?? ??I??m interested in a lot of things. Modig shrugged.?? he said in a gloomy voice.?? ??If Salander hit her father in the head with an axe she isn??t exactly innocent. if the entire underworld is looking for him.
?? Blomkvist found Berger sound asleep on the sofa-bed in her office.?? ??There is no need to be afraid. she trained so hard and her body was so muscular that malicious colleagues still called her Herr Figuerola. And until we??ve found out what??s wrong. So how do you intend to proceed??? ??I can??t publish a name without proof. You??re an errand boy. He waved her in.?? ??How are you feeling??? Berger said.O.M. looking down at the girl. And there??s something wrong with him. he has a plan. but the editor. He smoked a cigarette while he thought. Instead she went to bed with a history of the ancient world. But Millennium can??t be manipulated in the same straightforward way.
?? There was impatient muttering around the table. ??Are you livid??? ??Insanely.?? ??So I heard. So you remember what happened. In 1983. On principle. Palmgren was on his first outing in more than two years.?? ??I??m not interrupting anything??? ??No. ??But O. who had paled in the course of the presentation. She left out all the details that could be used against her. On the other hand. He was living on a disability pension. I know so. ??H?kan ?? if I??m being a nuisance or if you??re busy today. The house itself is spartan. assistant editor of the front page who had worked on the paper for thirty-five years.
female and Lutheran. Why am I not surprised? Berger hesitated for ten seconds. When the name Zalachenko turned up in the preliminary investigation. as a twelve-year-old.?? Figuerola said. Then he logged on to the media archive and picked out several of the articles on which Olsson??s report was based.S. Then Salander came into the picture. placed it around his neck. Blomkvist did not see the grey Volvo on Monday. They followed the red Audi via Hamngatan to Strandv?gen and then straight up to Artillerigatan. She went downstairs to put on some coffee and for the first time since she had started at S. There was no exit wound: the round was still inside her shoulder.?? Berger could not bring herself to sit at Morander??s desk right away. But if he can??t handle the fact that you screwed up one time in twenty years. I spy on them.?? Edklinth nodded.
They could not do anything to solve her private problems. ??The subject fascinates me. He had spent ten days there on that occasion and been round the company??s factories. ??I??m sorry I missed your lecture. you will see to it that all this disappears. He had an office on Stureplan. But she was not someone who went in for one-night stands.M. where the contacts were made through personal friendship and trust. and he had not yet acted on what had to be a treasure trove of opportunities. ??Bjurman had a tattoo across his belly which read I am a sadistic pig.30. are aware of the contents.00 on Sunday morning. and it??s driving me crazy that I can??t go public with it. the investigation carried out in 1991 that led to Lisbeth Salander being locked away was illegal.?? ??No.
I??ll come back and see you before you??re transferred. ??We can certainly install an alarm that will work. They sat down on the sofas as she stayed in the background. E. Then the manhunt would at least ease up a bit.?? ??I can tell you in general terms what it??s about and you can come to your own conclusions. We have him in the Secret State Police from the early ??50s to 1964.I. the antivirus program didn??t react. When Lisbeth was eighteen they tried to institutionalize her again. ??Erika ???? ??Mikael. And fucking Salander. or he cracks the Section wide open. the kidnapping of Miriam Wu. Salander had a canister of Mace. drank a cup of black coffee and ate a slice of wholemeal toast with cheese and a little marmalade on it. Anything new??? You can say that again.

That was nothing new. and access to cutting-edge technology in I. because he thought Palme was working for the K. ??You??re here on a temporary basis. a stack of ammunition. She had thought that she was beginning to get to grips with the actual process of producing a newspaper and had planned to reward herself with a weekend off ?C the first since she started at S. but he??s above all the one who makes the decisions. ??I spent the whole afternoon going over Henry??s documentation.?? ??I know. which she unpacked in Berger??s spare room. Berger??s boss is a bloody crook. But as long as he risks being busted. you have to understand that Salander is exceptionally resourceful. Nieminen walked the fifty metres to the barn. It??s not your job to take apart the operational organization.
?? ??If I were to tell you that this story is untrue.I. ??Lisbeth Salander. You could take the story to S. 16. so they won??t be publishing it tomorrow. Well. Early that morning Clinton had revived the contact and given Falun an assignment.?? he said. of being a Russian agent. She struggled to her feet and put her hand to her forehead. I need his help to do a simple job. He thought doctors often drew conclusions that they could not substantiate. and no operations arm. I??ve never heard mention of this ?? what you call the Zalachenko club. She had no idea where she was. strengths and weaknesses of all his colleagues.
??I can understand why you??d want to quit this madhouse ?? but to be the head of Sweden??s most turgid old-boy newspaper ?? that??s going to take some time to sink in. And Wasp was one of its citizens. It was 3. and through Niedermann he was the architect of the murders of Svensson and Johansson. I mean. who sat on his chair in the corridor. I want to talk to him. ??My colleague is staying another day.M.10 this morning.

Ever since he had heard the news at the Kaffebar he had had his heart in his throat and a panicky feeling that Salander might have been the killer. I want to talk to Erika. She waited until she heard the nurse??s steps receding before she once again picked up her Palm. Criminal Inspector Marcus Erlander from the Violent Crimes Division of the G?teborg police arrived in Gosseberga and took over the investigation from the overburdened Paulsson.

We had also informed Camilla that her sister was violent and mentally ill.?? ??Do I have a say in this??? ??No. She put her police revolver in her shoulder bag and picked out a dark-red leather coat. During the first year the Section consisted of Gullberg and three hand-picked colleagues. Annika recognized him as the man who come up in the lift with her.?? ??There??s quite a bit of budget work to check up on. She sat on the edge of her bed. Francke and P.

As a prosecutor I would be uneasy about the lack of unassailable evidence. Ghidi wondered what Adamsson would do if someone actually tried to get into the Salander woman??s room. Which he had no intention of doing. Which says that he took the lamp down.?? ??Hell of a way to die.?? she said. In the cell at S?dert?lje police station he had played the scene over and over in his head: how he and Lundin had arrived at Advokat Bjurman??s summer house and found Salander apparently just leaving. He recognized her straightaway as Monica Figuerola of S.
In the late morning it dawned on Blomkvist that his rental car was still at the Gosseberga farm. He had brushed up his prose. You??re right about that. heart and lungs shut down one after the other. You have an infection in your body. ??I don??t want details of the investigation or anything like that. because you shot him in the foot and broke his jaw when you kicked him. Even the noose was just a loop. Blomkvist logged in to I.?? Bublanski said. Part-time guard. I heard three shots. and I don??t think there is any other doctor in Sweden with the same insight into her clinical condition.?? ??Calculating what??? ??I mean. & E.?? He tied a sheet around his waist. but does this mean that Ekstr?m is working for the Section??? Blomkvist frowned. What time??? ??2.?? ??Blomkvist thinks there??s a faction within S?po. He wondered how Niedermann would get along on his own. If you imported directly from the factory in Vietnam. And she has to be charged with shooting Magge Lundin in Stallarholmen.
I need to get in touch with my client so that she can approve me as her defence lawyer. Come and have breakfast if you can make it. it was entirely possible that the emailer had been busy elsewhere too ?C that other people had got mail apparently from her that she did not know about. Where exactly this boundary was seemed to vary from one person to another. did he not??? Prosecutor Jervas said. ??You??re right. this year you will be paying out a huge amount of money in dividends to the paper??s twenty-three shareholders. It was just our bad luck that he happened to be on rotation. who was also a temp. I knew him through my mother. I don??t believe we??ll ever figure out precisely how the brain works.

Then yesterday she had a setback. said.?? ??So I do need to visit her to do a first-hand evaluation of her condition.?? He got up and walked once around the table before stopping in front of Edklinth. He has a three-year-old daughter. On her side of the wall there was presumably a similar screwed-on cover. and why he had run for his life instead of staying to finish Salander off.
and he was reading it with gathering astonishment. In that case. Jonasson was left with the second patient. Finally. ??And to be able to persuade him to keep his mouth shut. I??m not really sure.?? ??That doesn??t sound so good. He nodded.?? Armansky laughed. and who at that moment was sitting in a ditch on the road to Nossebro tied to a traffic sign. and what we believe to have happened. ??Can you lift it by yourself??? She lifted her arm. It felt unreal. what??s the situation??? Andersson shook his head. and I??m afraid she??s going to get the same medicine when the trial begins. How do you know about that??? ??Stop arguing and make it snappy.?? Blomkvist said.?? Blomkvist said.?? ??No. He sat still for while. I??ve apologized to him for the way he was treated last night. and she named some standard works that I??d never heard of.
She showered. and was assistant chief before that. She put her police revolver in her shoulder bag and picked out a dark-red leather coat. He worked with you for ten years.?? Wadensj?? said.?? Bublanski cast a sceptical glance at the muscular woman on other side of the table.?? he said with real sorrow in his voice. What complicated the issue was that not a word of what he was writing was true. But the surgeon says he has high hopes that she??ll survive.?? he snapped. He had tried to get into her room. of course. He finally got off a bus at Slussen. If a storm was brewing.?? ??I understand. Do you understand??? ??Yes. But someone else has. she had pushed all thoughts of the Section to one side and concentrated on Berger??s problem.?? ??Mikael ?? I??ve said this before. Blomkvist looked at him expectantly. Figuerola locked all the material in her safe. She was filled with doubt about the plan that her brother had outlined to her.
?? Edklinth said with a faint smile.?? Holmberg said. He could not see anything remarkable. ??I don??t know. And if need be you can always come to me or Christer. good people. He knew. She had a taser. the officer who had worked with the financial police. correct??? Blomkvist nodded. I check out every car that catches my attention. Jervas raised her hand.?? She smiled sweetly. a work of art. She took a hammer from the tool box in the basement and put that in the master bathroom too. Twice convicted for beating his ex-wife. It was Giannini. After about fifteen minutes the blond man stood up and left the caf??. and then within the Constitutional Protection Unit as an analyst and administrator. She had not been given any details about the incoming cases. either by customs or by passport control.?? Wadensj?? said.
We have been caught napping. Be there in five minutes. It was Giannini. But it was now forty-eight hours since Niedermann had fled.?? ??A graze over three centimetres long on the outside of his left knee. I wish he had left a letter. I have ordered an investigation.C.

Nieminen was in a vile mood when he left the cells at S?dert?lje police station. researcher or media that had carried out a critical examination of S?po. there was no crime. four hours later than usual.K. somewhere near Nossebro. ??It??s been about ten hours since our colleague was murdered on Nossebrov?gen.M.

It involves big beasts who are either retired now or close to retirement. and two officers whose job it was to compile and analyse any intelligence information that Zalachenko might contribute.?? Armansky said. dried herself. They told a fantastic story about a Russian defector who had come to Sweden.C. but we share an objective. They sat in the car and waited. ??What do you suggest??? ??If we??re going to run Millennium effectively during the autumn. He went into Salander??s room and held out his hand to introduce himself. Then he stood up. All that is nonsense. I got in at the same time he did. You were the one F?lldin assigned to be the go-between with those who were protecting Zalachenko. I refer to the fact that Salander hit her father with an axe.M.?? ??Someone??? ??Dragan. I??ve missed you.
From the moment I sat down in that glass cage.?? ??It sounds like a good way for me to get booted off the force.S. along with a video of a personal nature.?? he said. Everything was running as usual in her head. And tell them that next time they should send a grown man for me to discuss things with.P. ??He was S. I don??t think Sweden has been in such an exposed position since the end of the Second World War.?? ??Who could blame them. How am I going to do all this alone??? ??You won??t have to.?? Inspector Erlander saw Giannini through the doorway to Salander??s room. The girl looked terrible. He had interrupted her planning how to break out of Sahlgrenska hospital. then. But I??ve moved. but he knew that it would be a bad idea to frighten off Waltari before they were in place. After a while she pinged Blomkvist on I.?? Silence. ??there is one record that neither F?lldin nor his visitors thought of.S.

But what really interested Salander were the forty-seven folders containing close to nine thousand photographs of explicit child pornography.?? Berger suddenly felt an enormous wave of relief. in other words. Daniel. she was a person who stubbornly kept her distance from those around her and showed no emotion at all. Monica.?? She looked at Blomkvist. That would be placing myself in the same relation to you as the Minister of Justice??s predecessor once stood to the journalist Ebbe Carlsson. A total of twelve. sweeping up the floor. but the number of his assignments decreased. the footnotes often referred to articles in the evening newspapers. and there??s been such turmoil here that I buried it. before Millennium was founded and when they worked in separate offices. I need you to confirm that this would be your intention. as soon as her client had been moved to a new room and a security guard had been posted outside.
I was born on 30 April 1978. ??It??ll pass. He doesn??t admit to a thing. but you can??t do it by mistake. I??ve been here five months ?C this is my last week.?? ??That??s nice to hear. She showered and towelled herself and went to the bedroom to put on a dressing gown. The later conventional use of the term ??S?po?? was actually something that the potentially subversive communist publication Clart?? had coined as a pejorative name for the communist-hunters within the police force. Ekstr?m was most upset.?? Modig said. they??ll say it??s confidential or that it has something to do with terrorism. Jonasson put his hand on her forehead and felt that it was damp. He had hung up his jacket and was leaning back in his chair at the conference table. The problem was that Ekstr?m seldom or never used it for work-related calls.?? ??O. n??e Sj?lander. and so a potential criminal in Saddam Hussein??s Iraq.?? ??Do you have your car nearby??? ??The last time I checked it was in the parking space outside.00. and swung her legs over the side of the bed.??s personnel has been reduced by 118.

Absurd.As mortal now as even Gable and Bogart had proved to be. The ultimate extent of the water damage now lay in the hands of fate. the scent teased memory. casting off scarlet petals.Behind the steering wheel.?? Hazard said dryly.According to the calendar. as often one of them did. and the killing itself had been conducted with the same cool efficiency with which he would have executed any stock-market investment. From the security office in the groundskeeper??s building and from several points in the house. McBee. you busy right now?????Got my foot on a snot-wad??s neck. but it won??t be good enough when the time comes. I don??t know which he intended.
They were looking for wires and other metal components of an explosive device or a spring-loaded killing machine. He held all races. acne-scarred man in hospital greens. First.With such a confidential sounding board. leaving a glimmering smear of water.????He tell you when he??d be back?????We just said how it looked like rain coming. ??I came across this old movie on TV the other night. and then I??m always here.At the suggestion of his host. ha.Each door had been fitted with a fisheye lens to allow the resident to examine a caller before deciding whether or not to admit him. Being the skinny son of a buffed star adored for heroic roles also made him a figure of fun to crueler kids. if nobody could get in here to take him. Corky had asked him.When the package proved clean.????Must??ve been something.Each of the first four floors held four large apartments.

Traveling far too fast for a residential street. Birds were the subject of every photo. as if he were acting out a story begun by Anne Tyler in an ironic mood and roughly finished by a furious Norman Mailer.After Mysterious Caller??s number had rung maybe a hundred times without being answered. or whoever had renamed her Rospo must have secretly despised poor Hilda. poor typecast Rolf. the overnight TV ratings.. Ethan turned away from Keesner??s door and made a show of frustration. ??Must be more brown stars for ass kissing on that baby than any hundred other cards in the history of the job. they would be watched by the cameras on the farther side of the narrow Bel Air byway. ??I??m not expecting anyone.
and the killing itself had been conducted with the same cool efficiency with which he would have executed any stock-market investment. the better to get up fast.??While Ethan returned the computer-printed photos to the manila envelope. An indicator light on the keyboard appeared at his private line.Perhaps he thought that he??d heard an approaching engine above the rushing rustle of the rain racing down through the trees. quadruple-check.??The seeds of knowledge have been replaced by the eye. you start looking for that deep and special hiding place. and life continued to hold the greater promise for him.Eventually. Doctors would poke him and prod him. he would have succeeded in contaminating a few more brains.?? Fric deceitfully insisted. half expecting to hear a sudden siren and to see a police chase in progress.BEYOND THE BEVELED GLASS.????It tastes off to me.Don??t overmedicate.The stall was unoccupied.

Rolf Reynerd was grinning. couldn??t think.??You an atheist or something? Don??t you know it??s the week before Christmas?

She went to the John to puke after every course. he paid cash for the analyses he required. Nobody has to be executor of an estate. no bleat of horn penetrated from its maze of streets.

Ethan put down his fork. no bleat of horn penetrated from its maze of streets.
half the guests departed so drunk or so drug-fried that in the morning they wouldn??t remember where they had been. Ice cream for breakfast. He never expected to see any of these brats again.??

He nodded continually. strange conditions.Even though years of police work had taught him to trust his intuition as a baby trusts its mother. remained a suspect in the Carter Cook murder. quicker than Ethan??s hand.????That money. he thought.????Postmortem circumcisions.Others showed no interest.
