"Rest easy, Lisbeth Salander fans--our punk hacker heroine is in good hands. . . . A twisty, bloody thrill ride . . . . An instant page-turner." --USA Today (4 out of 4 stars)

"Excellent. . . . Anyone craving more Salander bad-assery should get their hands on a copy of Spider's Web faster than Lisbeth can hack into the NSA." --People

"Salander and Blomkvist are just as compelling as ever. . . . Fans of Stieg Larsson's captivating odd couple of modern detective fiction will not be disappointed." --Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times

"Riveting. . . . Pyrotechnic. . . . An intelligent novel that has Salander entangled in one of the most contentious issues of our times." --Chicago Tribune

"The Girl in the Spider's Web is masterful. . . . Intricate and ambitious. . . . Salander is an extraordinary heroine whose hacker skills are more relevant than ever in an increasingly high-tech surveillance society." --The Atlantic

"Lagercrantz has more than met the challenge. Larsson's brainchildren are in good hands and may have even come up a bit in the world." --The Wall Street Journal

"Lagercrantz's real achievement here is the subtle development of Lisbeth's character; he allows us access to her complex, alienated world but is careful not to remove her mystery and unknowability. Lisbeth Salander remains, in Lagercrantz's hands, the most enigmatic and fascinating anti-heroine in fiction." --Financial Times

"A thrillingly layered book every bit as addictive as the originals." --O, The Oprah Magazine

"This whirlwind of nonstop action and intrigue is compulsively readable to the electrifying end." --Library Journal (starred review)

"Fans of the original trilogy will be pleased with [Lagercrantz's] new installment. The novel is a smart, propulsive thriller and espionage tale with a timely digital age plot (think Snowden and Wikileaks)." --The Hollywood Reporter

"Engrossing. . . . In spinning a complex and intriguing new chapter in the adventures of Blomkvist and Salander, Lagercrantz has written a worthy successor to one of the more uniquely compelling thriller sagas of his generation." --Paste

"Lagercrantz pulls it off, and with a great deal of style. . . . Elegantly paced, slickly executed, and properly thrilling. . . . A welcome treat." --The Guardian

"Passion and fire, check: there are plenty of both here. . . . Fast-moving, credible, and intelligently told. Larsson fans won't be disappointed." --Kirkus Reviews

"Action-packed and thoroughly enjoyable. . . . [A] finely-wrought thriller. . . . I will eagerly devour the next adventure for Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist, especially now that we know their fate lies in the hands of a writer worthy of their story." --William O'Connor, The Daily Beast

A genius hacker who has always been an outsider. A journalist with a penchant for danger. She is Lisbeth Salander, the girl with the dragon tattoo. He is Mikael Blomkvist, crusading editor of Millennium. One night, Blomkvist receives a call from a source who claims to have been given information vital to the United States by a young female hacker. Blomkvist, always on the lookout for a story, reaches out to Salander for help. She, as usual, has plans of her own. Together they are drawn into a ruthless underworld of spies, cybercriminals, and government operatives—some willing to kill to protect their secrets.
