The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest: Stieg Larsson

In the third volume of the Millennium series, Lisbeth Salander lies in critical condition in a Swedish hospital, a bullet in her head.
But she`s fighting for her life in more ways than one: if and when she recovers, she`ll stand trial for three murders. With the help of Mikael Blomkvist, she`ll need to identify those in authority who have allowed the vulnerable, like herself, to suffer abuse and violence. And, on her own, she`ll seek revenge--against the man who tried to killer her and against the corrupt government institutions that nearly destroyed her life.
