There were bloody-minded individuals who harped on and on about real or imaginary injustices and who sometimes turned to threatening behaviour.iv By 1. even though his motives were not to harm her. but Palmgren himself had insisted. for exactly twelve days. I have also received similar emails from a sender who purports to be ??centraled?? at S. even though she may have felt a certain frustration that she was not going to be the editor of that particular issue. I mean.?? ??I read the article. and then would always break it. As soon as she was a little way down the hill. Whatever happens. It would make a passable weapon ?C for stabbing a face or an eye. And any applications for visits must also be referred in advance to Salander??s lawyer. I was stronger than he was and he couldn??t bear it. ??That doesn??t sound good.T. he had a rough draft of two articles totalling twenty-one pages. have already done me in.
The day before. ??I??ll make sure you get some painkillers in a minute. Berger had reluctantly agreed and then fallen asleep on the living-room sofa in front of the boarded-up picture window. Linder spread a blanket over her. ??Never seen them before. The problem was that the patient was in danger of dying while the doctor was still doing his thinking. You have no idea. I don??t have time to give special treatment to specific articles. ??It??s a police killing and the press is out in force.?? said Andersson.?? Clinton shook his head again. then what Prosecutor Ekstr?m had claimed. It was rare for her to close the door to her office. ??Please explain what the government has directed. she fumed. ??I??m looking for Gunnar Bj?rck. She turned the computer off at once and shoved it under her pillow. 11. Edklinth had a sense that cogs were whirring at high speed behind the P. not 250 metres from the hotel room where he found himself today. In that sense. ??We??re the ones nobody will ever thank. Two had a background in the Fraud Division.?? Edklinth said.?? Modig said. The immediate reason for calling the press conference was that he wanted to deny the rumours already being circulated in the media. You can??t call and say that it was a mistake.?? Eriksson said.

even though he is a journalist
even though he is a journalist. and suddenly there isn??t much time left. You shouldn??t do that. a stack of ammunition. three of them around thirty-five years old. or whatever he was. He walked slowly through the station. a pure media circus with himself at centre stage. The first email ?C which was also the most crude and intimidating with its suggestion that she would be fucked with a screwdriver ?C had come on May 16. but in sixteen hours he could have been in Finland. Then Figuerola called the assistant chief of Counter-Espionage. That??s not the way we do things at Millennium. The advantages are obvious. He had first come as an exchange researcher in the late ??70s and stayed for two years.?? ??I said that we probably didn??t have any more advanced books in the patient library ?C we have more Philip Marlowe than scientific literature ?C but that I??d see what I could dig up. not really. as Mikael Blomkvist claimed from the very beginning. I??m only interested in the Zalachenko club. But he could not keep a trace of incredulity out of his voice.?? ??Tell me. Which was not very likely. But M?rtensson was still there.?? ??This is a disastrous coincidence. I??m saying that some people within the Security Police are involved in such activity. Bublanski??s face clouded over.?? ??No.?? ??But in this case you already have. That was almost three weeks.
She opened it and stared in amazement at a Palm Tungsten T3 hand-held computer and battery charger. ??Now we just have to decide how we??re going to handle it. She found the letters that had been sent to the Minister of Justice and discovered that alongside the diatribe and the insulting personal attacks were also the words nigger-lover and traitor.I. even though in reality he was not her problem. ??Rapes should always be reported to the police.00 in the evening. but he was taken to St G?ran??s hospital and the group had more of a mop-up job to do than ever.?? Salander said. Which will be in about an hour. Peter Teleborian. It would only be natural to mention that. we??ll just cruise up to wherever he lives and ask the former Prime Minister if he faked identity documents for a defecting Russian spy. This is one cold bastard.??s assets were in the form of bonds that he could access. He carefully closed the door.?? ??Do you have any weaknesses??? ??I don??t read fiction. Nykvarn may be a cemetery in the woods for people who crossed them.?? Blomkvist said. The departing editor-in-chief. I just have to pick up a few things from my office.P.?? ??That??s what he says. I??m just bringing him in for questioning.?? ??I??d like to take you home and undress you. Hallberg is in charge of training.?? ??So the sister was your informant??? ??Camilla was mortally afraid of her sister. Someone had been in his apartment.
?? Clinton said in surprise.?? Dr Endrin said. the new chief of the Section. It will be to our advantage to stay on good terms with him and ensure his co-operation. and you can either suspend our co-operation or you can live with that.M. He looked like a bit player in E. Berger jumped as though someone had fired a shot in her living room.?? she said in a cheerful voice. Berger had parked two hundred metres from the restaurant and was halfway to her car when she felt such strong heart palpitations that she had to stop and lean against a wall. and that there was good reason to offer him a false identity and anonymity. stopped at the desk of the new assistant chief of Secretariat.?? ??Did you make eye contact??? ??No. I was the victim of attempted murder myself last night. was shaking all over as she stumbled through the woods. He seems to be pleasant enough. ??We??ve got a positive I. Then he vanishes.?? The officers nodded. which contradicted all law and justice and which would result in a disastrous scandal if it were ever discovered. The Zalachenko folder.?? ??I don??t even know which colleague you??re talking about. personnel department that he was employed there. Sandberg. Then he turned to F?lldin. She lay on her back with the brace around her neck.?? ??That??s a comfort. Gullberg would come back again and again to that list.

If you want to publish tomorrow morning. Zalachenko abused her mother so viciously that she spent most of her life in hospital. SisterJen. but the figure kept slipping away. This minute. Poison Pen might easily be a married man with five children and a dog. Drama last night as triple murderer Lisbeth Salander is finally captured. He can be surly sometimes.M. ??O.?? ??Well. has eaten into a great many old consolidated assets. The woman??s face had been replaced with Berger??s. ??How did you find out about the meeting??? ??Blomkvist called me at around 4. getting to his feet. such a revelation would be a political disaster for the Prime Minister. and then they??d all come trooping out in silence. One evening paper reported that.?? ??O.?? ??We studied all your notes today and we??ve informed the prosecutor that we??re prepared to discharge you. They take care of their normal jobs and do some discreet moonlighting for us should the need or opportunity arise. it could be a major step forward in your career.?? ??Do you have anything on Zalachenko or Bodin in your records??? Holmberg said.
and a typical libertarian when it came to freedom of the press.?? ??A little too fast. Then her eyes fell on a nurses?? table by the wall three metres from her bed. It was already 4. Then. Then the two old agents embraced.?? The fourth visitor of the day arrived at 11. other people can. He shrugged just as Beatrice the receptionist came in with coffee and milk.?? Eriksson said. the world over. She went back to the front door and put on the outdoor shoes she had kicked off as she came home. He had no idea what he did in his free time. Out of this somewhat esoteric bureaucratic debate. Even if you meet us in the driveway and say it was a mistake. It dawned on her that she had not been part of such a parade in more than twenty years. What am I doing here? She felt exhausted. she had refused to say a single word to the police. ??Allow me to manufacture a scenario. of course.?? ??Let me give you one very good reason why you should. We??ve reorganized. He was mentioned in a lot of correspondence with Teleborian. or that you don??t care??? ??I don??t know. They drove to Nieminen??s place.?? ??Good. Every time she accessed Teleborian??s hard drive she felt as if her body temperature dropped a few degrees.I.
I??m a survivor. Tell me what you see. We live in a democracy and naturally we cannot influence what is written in the press.?? ??Run that by me again. So why are you talking to me? Should I take it to mean that you have a certain amount of trust in me??? She did not reply. which Blomkvist studied. ??That??s a guess. he did not feel that the cripple was any sort of threat. My guess is that Faulsson opened the door and M?rtensson spent the time in Blomkvist??s apartment. The cost of all that work would be almost 50.?? ??It??s a family-owned business.?? Salander actually smiled. There are buyers who got fed up with the high construction prices. and went into the newly created Yahoo group [The_Knights]. probably in some car park in Stockholm.?? ??I understand. Again. I want to have something that shows that Prosecutor Ekstr?m is today working with Teleborian in some inappropriate manner. ??I??m sorry for chasing you down. where Clinton rose slowly from the sofa. One problem of course is that she??s working for you and is bound and fettered by one of those damned confidentiality oaths. He thanked the nurse and followed the sign to the staircase. What have you got??? ??Three names. which helped them turn the informer so that he could become a double agent. to every word I say. and taped hours and hours of conversations of no interest whatsoever.S.?? ??I get it.
?? ??But here comes my point.?? ??And if that were the case. He found what linked the investigations in the Salander slush. It was when Paulsson arrived that things really started to go awry. He had come by special transport for the disabled. was being sought for the killing of a policeman. despite the fact that he poked at her and fussed over her fever chart. Alexander Zalachenko.C.?? ??Something along those lines. But the living-room window was so big that they did not have the glass in stock.K.?? ??Which means that if problems arise. ??I just spoke to a nurse at Sahlgrenska. regarded as a rising star. Blomkvist??s magazine was intending to expose him. What mattered to her was that he was the board chairman of S. which is utter insanity for a newspaper that can??t add a job to its sports desk. ??How am I doing??? she said. he actually slept in the car coming down from Nossebro.?? * Borgsj? received Berger in his office next to the boardroom.?? ??According to Blomkvist. Stage two is Millennium and Mikael Blomkvist. Then there were a hundred other details. Unfortunately.?? ??I can??t move anywhere else. ??I never knew Zalachenko. She picked up her mobile to call Fredriksson and explained that she had hurt herself.
he did learn Russian and Polish. before Millennium was founded and when they worked in separate offices. Whoops.S. She knew that Blomkvist??s apartment was on the top floor. I have to tell you too that I will receive advice and support during any trial from your former guardian. No elaboration was forthcoming. ??Jerker asked what he knew about the defection. But Nurse Agneta had noticed that Dr Jonasson had spent time with the patient who was under arrest and otherwise seemed withdrawn from the world. Even so. said.?? Blomkvist said.?? The woman came to the living-room doorway and asked if Gullberg would like anything. and had become one of its trusted veterans.?? ??Did he say how much he knew??? ??F?lldin told him that the chief of S?po at the time and a colleague came to visit him very soon after he became Prime Minister. But what was going to happen now? Erika had always been a crucial part of Millennium. She could see nothing that would serve her purpose. ??No. But she had unconsciously glanced to her left.?? he said. Since he did not know Swedish. Clinton looked like ?? a skeleton. Dr Peter Teleborian was mentioned to me. He had no local knowledge of the streets in Stockholm county. Blomkvist smiled. she did not intend to back out.?? ??She sort of halfway believed the first email although she was quite surprised by it. According to the P.
Even if you meet us in the driveway and say it was a mistake.?? Modig said.P. She reached for a notebook. ??Good evening. slowly. ??Kurdo Baksi sends his greetings. Efficiency was valued more highly than background. Gullberg had worked in Counter-Espionage. Some of them concerned how he should present Salander in the articles.?? Blomkvist found Berger sound asleep on the sofa-bed in her office. He quoted the newspaper headlines about lesbian Satanists and the media??s apparent hope that the murders might have involved S.?? Clinton propped his elbow on the arm of the sofa and rested his head on his hand. Modig stood up. This he had not for a moment expected. He put these swiftly into a side pocket of his laptop case. She turned off the Palm and put it under the covers between her thighs. I thought we might be able to come to an understanding here. Peter Teleborian. And now she has attacked him with an axe. She had to find a hiding place.?? she said. this was the first can of worms. May 20. The section took up nineteen lines in her account. ??As I said ?? all I want is the research you come up with. Don??t misunderstand me ?? I??ll tell the truth as I see it in what I publish.?? ??How many in the Section are still here from my day??? ??Apart from me ?? only Otto Hallberg and Georg Nystr?m are still here.
She hasn??t regained consciousness yet. but first let me say that under normal circumstances I would not have dreamed of asking a journalist to come to such a meeting. our job is still to find the killer. Eleven rooms and apparently a bit of a snazzy joint. and he??s probably been trying to protect him. Not surprisingly. ??The most obvious thing would be to take one of the ferries across the Baltic. He was Salander??s friend. ??You don??t like the Security Police. Since he did not know Swedish.?? ??I couldn??t help reading in the papers that you??re mixed up in this Salander story. This was not very informative. He smiled. that??s how it is. inevitably. then he isn??t worth the time you??ve put in for him. he saw that he had forty-two messages and texts. names and organizational charts. orange marmalade and a sliced avocado. He did not want to do it at the hotel where he had been staying.?? ??Which means???? ??First of all. ??Three weeks at S.?? ??How are you feeling??? ??I??m not finished yet. The technology of R. She had not tackled the Peter Fleming account because she did not need to have full administrator rights.?? ??You??re at the Sahlgrenska in G?teborg. On more than one occasion Edklinth and Figuerola considered bringing M?rtensson in for questioning. rather.
But I want to play it safe. It would make a passable weapon ?C for stabbing a face or an eye. the I.

Bublanski is the investigative leader for the murders of Bjurman and the couple in Enskede. but his sick leave was extended and now it??s a question of waiting for an operation. and then he produced rolls and coffee from a thermos.?? ??If he has gone. She went on to report how at one point during the rape he had wound a piece of clothing ?C her own T-shirt ?C around her neck and strangled her for such a long time that she temporarily lost consciousness.?? ??There??s a great probability that you will have to do just that. She introduced herself and her colleague. what??s going on with you??? ??I??m about to resign from Millennium. The best thing would be for you to think of me as a temporary work colleague. and an older gentleman we didn??t recognize.
Cortez exhaled in relief. In other words. shoulder patch. Figuerola reckoned that she was in her mid-thirties. Personal Protection had the smallest budget of any unit in the Security Police. I??ll come. Lillian had cleaned it with alcohol and put a bandage on it. She followed him to the kitchen and filled a large glass with cold water.?? ??But your proposal is off the wall. Jan. Don??t use my email. The discussion was about the slump in advertising and the downturn in single-copy sales. am I someone who has a problem with the fact that you??re fitter and physically stronger than I am? No. Nothing out of the ordinary there. you can write an article on the subject if you want and we??ll publish it.500 kronor and had all the latest features.?? ??Lisbeth???? ??Wait. and had probably saved her life.?? Malmberg said. and part-time student. furthermore. That should be enough of an explanation. Since then she has been allowed to drift aimlessly. No visitors will be permitted other than you.S.?? ??What the fuck are you doing in Nyk?ping??? ??We decided to lay low when you and Magge were busted ?C until we knew the lay of the land. I spoke to Margareta and she said that she clearly explained to you what her interview was going to focus on. I suppose my answer to that is the same one you gave me: I believe in a constitutional democracy and sometimes it has to be protected.
And now I have the world??s worst guilty conscience.?? ??So somebody here at S. As always. But you could do it. I came to G?teborg for two reasons: to interview her and to get her ready to be transferred to a cell in Stockholm. ??Twenty-two what??? said Holm. ??Can I ask you what you think of Wadensj??.?? ??I understand. underlining. she thought. They contained data. ??There??s always a choice. I??m something as old-fashioned as a democrat. Before he scrubbed up and put on his operating clothes he sent for Nurse Nicander. She had been at Constitutional Protection for less than three years. There was a period in which he spent every waking minute in front of his computer screen. So you have to pay the going rate. Bj?rck messed around with teenage prostitutes and Millennium were going to expose him. ??Listen ?? I??m terribly sorry that it had to be this way. As soon as you see him approach a car. and he had never been in prison. Figuerola parked seven cars behind M?rtensson??s Volvo on Luntmakargatan. Nor do I ask you to tell me a single military secret that Zalachenko may have revealed. ??Good morning.?? ??I understand. Salander was sulky and often just silent. How did this get here? Then she discovered more glass on the hall floor. I mean.
If you say no. ??In other words. ??Do as I say and the Section might survive. I repeat. but in fact I forgot to deliver it to his office before I left. You can only do your best. ??Thanks.?? she said. Kurdo Baksi. In what way has he become harder to handle??? ??The police chief up there is an old friend of Paulsson??s.?? Sandberg said. When she was alone she said: ??Hello. It??s possible that Zalachenko really was a Russian spy who defected and was granted political asylum. He did not need a master??s degree in psychology to know that she was not doing very well emotionally. To Modig??s great frustration the meeting in Ekstr?m??s office was lasting a long time. They took the lift to the fifth floor. if that had been possible. For a moment she stood. S. From a medical standpoint. In such serious instances the investigation was also assumed to come under the authority of the Prosecutor General. If you publish before Edklinth has completed it.?? ??Do you think she??s in danger??? ??I know of nothing to indicate that she is. Counter-Espionage in 1998. and the fact that the girl was shot three times. ??There are a few things we have to get straight. She was carrying a black briefcase. one of whose drivers punched his windscreen in fury.
there??s been some reassessment of the case. She checked the sender and then picked up the telephone and called Peter Fleming. She was grown-up now. He reached for his prosthesis stored in the cabinet next to his bed and attached it to the stump of his leg. She did not expect that he would be quite so interested now that the Svensson murder was solved and he had got his story. we have had an analysis group working almost round the clock to discover exactly what happened. then crossed Belgium by way of Liege. She saw a nurse in a white uniform bending over her.Q. ??Bj?rck.M. The organization??s final name became ??the Section for Special Analysis.. She heard the faint scraping of the crutches as he quietly retreated down the corridor. Jerker asked F?lldin not to put a name. ??I hear what you??re saying. and take the day off sick. when the district court released her back into society. He got abuse from five directions at once. but completely unsuitable for this case. On the other hand. What we??re going to do in this book is to state what happened. He felt inadequate but all of a sudden realized that he might be luckier than he deserved. and then you have a month off.I. and that her still-extant declaration of incompetence is revoked. He opened his eyes in bewilderment. I would also emphasize that under no circumstances can you make public the information I give you.
30. But when I examined her this morning her temperature had gone up to almost 39.?? When she hung up she called the office and left a message for Fredriksson.?? Figuerola said. She wondered how Holger Palmgren viewed the situation. She was walking to the university when someone shot her with a crossbow. Actually I don??t want to talk about it.M.?? ??I don??t??? ??There are some people who need to have a talk with you in peace and quiet. but there are questions that still have to be answered. She made coffee and poured it into a thermos and then made sandwiches.I. but she supposed that she would have to escape and discreetly disappear abroad herself if she did not want to risk being locked up in some nuthouse again with Teleborian as her warder.?? ??You??d think he and Lundin were themselves the victims of a crime in Stallarholmen. At the same instant Anders Berglund knocked on the door. He was sent to a refugee camp in Upplands V?sby. names and organizational charts. She thought for a moment.I.?? ??O. say. You were the one who met them. What happens now??? Waltari said. He wondered how things would unfold now with Lundin out of the way.

Counter-Espionage said that they definitely had not borrowed him. But the rest is guesswork. If we can verify all the claims Blomkvist is making. My guarantee is this ?? if you don??t wave your magic wand and make all this disappear.?? ??O. His arms were bent in impossible directions. ??First of all. They engaged the psychiatrist Teleborian again and through a representative filed a request in the district court to get her institutionalized for a second time. That??s not a bad step up from this sorry little rag. Then he picked up the telephone. it??s pretty slow today. But somehow.?? ??My colleague is Jerker Holmberg.
They had both left S. It was late afternoon by the time Figuerola was able to convey to Edklinth with some certainty the discovery that Clinton??s and von Rottinger??s careers after they left S.

The copies that Blomkvist and his sister ?C now Salander??s lawyer ?C had in their possession have both disappeared. nor did she want their jobs ?C that was the last thing she wanted. Policemen aren??t supposed to think in those terms. and had probably saved her life. a pure media circus with himself at centre stage.?? ??If you??re a good leader then you??ll discuss any concerns with the others.?? ??I know all about Paulsson. Blomkvist assumed it was Figuerola herself. ??But she doesn??t have to reach the phone. don??t do it. Millennium had paid a fee to Advokat Giannini which was supposed to come out of the general fund. It is almost entirely fabricated. Violation of the prostitution laws. It was the reorganization of 1964 that had shaped Gullberg??s future career.

Nor do I ask you to tell me a single military secret that Zalachenko may have revealed. but it??s the research we??re after. and was assistant chief before that.?? ??And??? ??There are seven full-timers. ??Lisbeth is the one who??s in real danger. That is serious. And it was even more sensible of you to carry your client to the bathroom. informal suggestion??? Modig said cautiously.?? ??No. and they might not be the same ones Erika would have made. Ultimately Zalachenko decided to restructure his entire operation in a new corporation that would be owned by Niedermann and himself. Greger Beckman. It was a slow process. Zalachenko??s cover was at risk. She lifted the pillow and saw to her surprise a small cloth bag that had definitely not been there before.??

V. editor-in-chief.?? ??Fine. Never Mikael. We don??t have the resources for what you??d think of as an operations unit. There was a report today that she??s going to be the new editor-in-chief at Svenska Morgon-Posten. Who??s to know? But how did she deal with Nieminen? He has no visible injuries. And then we??ll track down Niedermann. The best thing would be if he was found with a bullet in his head.?? Holm said. at 8. as it turned out. That??s why F?lldin sent me to see you. I assume you??re not just sitting there twiddling your thumbs.?? ??I see. Inspector Erlander woke at 7. Naturally I??d want to assist my colleagues in the police force. either by customs or by passport control.?? * Figuerola spent her lunch hour pumping iron in the police gym.?? Modig and Holmberg exchanged an anxious look. Vinge never saw eye to eye.?? Blomkvist finished for him. Dr Peter Teleborian was mentioned to me.39. ??Hello.

None of it is directed at you. ??Zalachenko??s daughter is supposed to have given him that??? ??It??s hard to find another explanation. She looked on the verge of tears. Zalachenko came here in 1976. That folder is your most important evidence. holding out a hand that Zalachenko ignored. ??And what do I get in return ?C if I do co-operate??? ??Nothing.?? Figuerola said.?? Erlander rubbed the back of his neck. the assistant chief. both as a kid and as an adult. He drank a glass of mineral water. He was completely exhausted and realized that he had eaten only two slices of bread all day. and it??ll take me at least half an hour to put on my face. Keep in mind that he shot someone dead. and the Section had in fact been instrumental in the very formation of the group. Your turn. Through the service??s language school. She did not understand what it was about.

But she was an oddly resourceful young woman. ??And who do you think is going to investigate Salander??? Bublanski said.?? ??Who got in first??? ??We got in more or less at the same time. Neither Teleborian nor Faulsson ?C especially not Faulsson ?C had any position inside S. and that committing her in 1991 was justified. and I can??t say no. but that was exactly why you hired me. Nor did Giannini tell him anything of what she and her client discussed. and he would not exchange his appointment for any other position in the entire Swedish legal system or police force.?? Modig said. and he had saved the life of a four-year-old boy who arrived at the hospital with respiratory failure after swallowing the wheel of a toy car. that Figuerola and Blomkvist wrapped sheets around themselves and went to her kitchen to make a cold pasta salad with tuna and bacon from the leftovers in her fridge. She could give a good description of the woman.C.

He walked slowly through the station. a pure media circus with himself at centre stage. The first email ?C which was also the most crude and intimidating with its suggestion that she would be fucked with a screwdriver ?C had come on May 16. but in sixteen hours he could have been in Finland. Then Figuerola called the assistant chief of Counter-Espionage. That??s not the way we do things at Millennium. The advantages are obvious. He had first come as an exchange researcher in the late ??70s and stayed for two years.?? ??I said that we probably didn??t have any more advanced books in the patient library ?C we have more Philip Marlowe than scientific literature ?C but that I??d see what I could dig up. not really. as Mikael Blomkvist claimed from the very beginning. I??m only interested in the Zalachenko club. But he could not keep a trace of incredulity out of his voice.?? ??Tell me. Which was not very likely. But M?rtensson was still there.?? ??This is a disastrous coincidence. I??m saying that some people within the Security Police are involved in such activity. Bublanski??s face clouded over.?? ??No.?? ??But in this case you already have. That was almost three weeks.
She opened it and stared in amazement at a Palm Tungsten T3 hand-held computer and battery charger. ??Now we just have to decide how we??re going to handle it.

It would only be natural to mention that. we??ll just cruise up to wherever he lives and ask the former Prime Minister if he faked identity documents for a defecting Russian spy. This is one cold bastard.??s assets were in the form of bonds that he could access. He carefully closed the door.?? ??Do you have any weaknesses??? ??I don??t read fiction. Nykvarn may be a cemetery in the woods for people who crossed them.?? Blomkvist said. The departing editor-in-chief. I just have to pick up a few things from my office.P.?? ??That??s what he says. I??m just bringing him in for questioning.?? ??I??d like to take you home and undress you. Hallberg is in charge of training.?? ??So the sister was your informant??? ??Camilla was mortally afraid of her sister. Someone had been in his apartment.

It will be to our advantage to stay on good terms with him and ensure his co-operation. and you can either suspend our co-operation or you can live with that.M. He looked like a bit player in E. Berger jumped as though someone had fired a shot in her living room.?? she said in a cheerful voice. Berger had parked two hundred metres from the restaurant and was halfway to her car when she felt such strong heart palpitations that she had to stop and lean against a wall. and that there was good reason to offer him a false identity and anonymity. stopped at the desk of the new assistant chief of Secretariat.?? ??Did you make eye contact??? ??No. I was the victim of attempted murder myself last night. was shaking all over as she stumbled through the woods.

The woman??s face had been replaced with Berger??s. ??How did you find out about the meeting??? ??Blomkvist called me at around 4. getting to his feet. such a revelation would be a political disaster for the Prime Minister. and then they??d all come trooping out in silence. One evening paper reported that.?? ??O.?? ??We studied all your notes today and we??ve informed the prosecutor that we??re prepared to discharge you. They take care of their normal jobs and do some discreet moonlighting for us should the need or opportunity arise. it could be a major step forward in your career.?? ??Do you have anything on Zalachenko or Bodin in your records??? Holmberg said.
and a typical libertarian when it came to freedom of the press.?? ??A little too fast. Then her eyes fell on a nurses?? table by the wall three metres from her bed. It was already 4. Then. Then the two old agents embraced.?? The fourth visitor of the day arrived at 11. other people can. He shrugged just as Beatrice the receptionist came in with coffee and milk.?? Eriksson said. the world over. She went back to the front door and put on the outdoor shoes she had kicked off as she came home. He had no idea what he did in his free time. Out of this somewhat esoteric bureaucratic debate. Even if you meet us in the driveway and say it was a mistake. It dawned on her that she had not been part of such a parade in more than twenty years. What am I doing here? She felt exhausted. she had refused to say a single word to the police. ??Allow me to manufacture a scenario. of course.?? ??Let me give you one very good reason why you should. We??ve reorganized. He was mentioned in a lot of correspondence with Teleborian. or that you don??t care??? ??I don??t know. They drove to Nieminen??s place.?? ??Good. Every time she accessed Teleborian??s hard drive she felt as if her body temperature dropped a few degrees.I.
I??m a survivor. Tell me what you see. We live in a democracy and naturally we cannot influence what is written in the press.?? ??Run that by me again. So why are you talking to me? Should I take it to mean that you have a certain amount of trust in me??? She did not reply. which Blomkvist studied. ??That??s a guess. he did not feel that the cripple was any sort of threat. My guess is that Faulsson opened the door and M?rtensson spent the time in Blomkvist??s apartment. The cost of all that work would be almost 50.?? ??It??s a family-owned business.?? Salander actually smiled. There are buyers who got fed up with the high construction prices. and went into the newly created Yahoo group [The_Knights]. probably in some car park in Stockholm.?? ??I understand. Again. I want to have something that shows that Prosecutor Ekstr?m is today working with Teleborian in some inappropriate manner. ??I??m sorry for chasing you down. where Clinton rose slowly from the sofa. One problem of course is that she??s working for you and is bound and fettered by one of those damned confidentiality oaths. He thanked the nurse and followed the sign to the staircase. What have you got??? ??Three names. which helped them turn the informer so that he could become a double agent. to every word I say. and taped hours and hours of conversations of no interest whatsoever.S.?? ??I get it.
?? ??But here comes my point.?? ??And if that were the case. He found what linked the investigations in the Salander slush. It was when Paulsson arrived that things really started to go awry. He had come by special transport for the disabled. was being sought for the killing of a policeman. despite the fact that he poked at her and fussed over her fever chart. Alexander Zalachenko.C.?? ??Something along those lines. But the living-room window was so big that they did not have the glass in stock.K.?? ??Which means that if problems arise. ??I just spoke to a nurse at Sahlgrenska. regarded as a rising star. Blomkvist??s magazine was intending to expose him. What mattered to her was that he was the board chairman of S. which is utter insanity for a newspaper that can??t add a job to its sports desk. ??How am I doing??? she said. he actually slept in the car coming down from Nossebro.?? * Borgsj? received Berger in his office next to the boardroom.?? ??According to Blomkvist. Stage two is Millennium and Mikael Blomkvist. Then there were a hundred other details. Unfortunately.?? ??I can??t move anywhere else. ??I never knew Zalachenko. She picked up her mobile to call Fredriksson and explained that she had hurt herself.
he did learn Russian and Polish. before Millennium was founded and when they worked in separate offices. Whoops.S. She knew that Blomkvist??s apartment was on the top floor. I have to tell you too that I will receive advice and support during any trial from your former guardian. No elaboration was forthcoming. ??Jerker asked what he knew about the defection. But Nurse Agneta had noticed that Dr Jonasson had spent time with the patient who was under arrest and otherwise seemed withdrawn from the world. Even so. said.?? Blomkvist said.?? The woman came to the living-room doorway and asked if Gullberg would like anything. and had become one of its trusted veterans.?? ??Did he say how much he knew??? ??F?lldin told him that the chief of S?po at the time and a colleague came to visit him very soon after he became Prime Minister. But what was going to happen now? Erika had always been a crucial part of Millennium. She could see nothing that would serve her purpose. ??No. But she had unconsciously glanced to her left.?? he said. Since he did not know Swedish. Clinton looked like ?? a skeleton. Dr Peter Teleborian was mentioned to me. He had no local knowledge of the streets in Stockholm county. Blomkvist smiled. she did not intend to back out.?? ??She sort of halfway believed the first email although she was quite surprised by it. According to the P.
Even if you meet us in the driveway and say it was a mistake.?? Modig said.P. She reached for a notebook. ??Good evening. slowly. ??Kurdo Baksi sends his greetings. Efficiency was valued more highly than background. Gullberg had worked in Counter-Espionage. Some of them concerned how he should present Salander in the articles.?? Blomkvist found Berger sound asleep on the sofa-bed in her office. He quoted the newspaper headlines about lesbian Satanists and the media??s apparent hope that the murders might have involved S.?? Clinton propped his elbow on the arm of the sofa and rested his head on his hand. Modig stood up. This he had not for a moment expected. He put these swiftly into a side pocket of his laptop case. She turned off the Palm and put it under the covers between her thighs. I thought we might be able to come to an understanding here. Peter Teleborian. And now she has attacked him with an axe. She had to find a hiding place.?? she said. this was the first can of worms. May 20. The section took up nineteen lines in her account. ??As I said ?? all I want is the research you come up with. Don??t misunderstand me ?? I??ll tell the truth as I see it in what I publish.?? ??How many in the Section are still here from my day??? ??Apart from me ?? only Otto Hallberg and Georg Nystr?m are still here.
She hasn??t regained consciousness yet. but first let me say that under normal circumstances I would not have dreamed of asking a journalist to come to such a meeting. our job is still to find the killer. Eleven rooms and apparently a bit of a snazzy joint. and he??s probably been trying to protect him. Not surprisingly. ??The most obvious thing would be to take one of the ferries across the Baltic. He was Salander??s friend. ??You don??t like the Security Police. Since he did not know Swedish.?? ??I couldn??t help reading in the papers that you??re mixed up in this Salander story. This was not very informative. He smiled. that??s how it is. inevitably. then he isn??t worth the time you??ve put in for him. he saw that he had forty-two messages and texts. names and organizational charts. orange marmalade and a sliced avocado. He did not want to do it at the hotel where he had been staying.?? ??Which means???? ??First of all. ??Three weeks at S.?? ??How are you feeling??? ??I??m not finished yet. The technology of R. She had not tackled the Peter Fleming account because she did not need to have full administrator rights.?? ??You??re at the Sahlgrenska in G?teborg.

But I want to play it safe. It would make a passable weapon ?C for stabbing a face or an eye. the I. The only thing that had gone right was that he had persuaded them to send a helicopter to take the girl to Sahlgrenska hospital.T. the investigation and registration of Swedish citizens who might be suspected of harbouring communist or subversive views.Q. I thought you were taking today off. of course. ??I??m ready. He remembers Sandberg quite well. but I??d be grateful if we could meet tomorrow night. while others flutter around. ??Erika isn??t the villain. a feeling that had grown stronger with every visit he made since his retirement. was just fine.Saturday. and then a brief and. Bublanski is the investigative leader for the murders of Bjurman and the couple in Enskede. but his sick leave was extended and now it??s a question of waiting for an operation. and then he produced rolls and coffee from a thermos.?? ??If he has gone. She went on to report how at one point during the rape he had wound a piece of clothing ?C her own T-shirt ?C around her neck and strangled her for such a long time that she temporarily lost consciousness.?? ??There??s a great probability that you will have to do just that. She introduced herself and her colleague. what??s going on with you??? ??I??m about to resign from Millennium. The best thing would be for you to think of me as a temporary work colleague. and an older gentleman we didn??t recognize.
Cortez exhaled in relief. In other words. shoulder patch. Figuerola reckoned that she was in her mid-thirties. Personal Protection had the smallest budget of any unit in the Security Police. I??ll come. Lillian had cleaned it with alcohol and put a bandage on it. She followed him to the kitchen and filled a large glass with cold water.?? ??But your proposal is off the wall. Jan. Don??t use my email. The discussion was about the slump in advertising and the downturn in single-copy sales. am I someone who has a problem with the fact that you??re fitter and physically stronger than I am?

I spoke to Margareta and she said that she clearly explained to you what her interview was going to focus on. I suppose my answer to that is the same one you gave me: I believe in a constitutional democracy and sometimes it has to be protected.
And now I have the world??s worst guilty conscience.?? ??So somebody here at S. As always. But you could do it. I came to G?teborg for two reasons: to interview her and to get her ready to be transferred to a cell in Stockholm. ??Twenty-two what??? said Holm. ??Can I ask you what you think of Wadensj??.?? ??I understand. underlining. she thought. They contained data. ??There??s always a choice. I??m something as old-fashioned as a democrat. Before he scrubbed up and put on his operating clothes he sent for Nurse Nicander. She had been at Constitutional Protection for less than three years. There was a period in which he spent every waking minute in front of his computer screen. So you have to pay the going rate. Bj?rck messed around with teenage prostitutes and Millennium were going to expose him. ??Listen ?? I??m terribly sorry that it had to be this way. As soon as you see him approach a car. and he had never been in prison. Figuerola parked seven cars behind M?rtensson??s Volvo on Luntmakargatan. Nor do I ask you to tell me a single military secret that Zalachenko may have revealed. ??Good morning.?? ??I understand. Salander was sulky and often just silent. How did this get here? Then she discovered more glass on the hall floor. I mean.
If you say no. ??In other words. ??Do as I say and the Section might survive. I repeat. but in fact I forgot to deliver it to his office before I left. You can only do your best. ??Thanks.?? she said. Kurdo Baksi. In what way has he become harder to handle??? ??The police chief up there is an old friend of Paulsson??s.?? Sandberg said. When she was alone she said: ??Hello. It??s possible that Zalachenko really was a Russian spy who defected and was granted political asylum. He did not need a master??s degree in psychology to know that she was not doing very well emotionally. To Modig??s great frustration the meeting in Ekstr?m??s office was lasting a long time. They took the lift to the fifth floor. if that had been possible. For a moment she stood. S. From a medical standpoint. In such serious instances the investigation was also assumed to come under the authority of the Prosecutor General. If you publish before Edklinth has completed it.?? ??Do you think she??s in danger??? ??I know of nothing to indicate that she is.

She was carrying a black briefcase. one of whose drivers punched his windscreen in fury.
there??s been some reassessment of the case. She checked the sender and then picked up the telephone and called Peter Fleming. She was grown-up now. He reached for his prosthesis stored in the cabinet next to his bed and attached it to the stump of his leg. She did not expect that he would be quite so interested now that the Svensson murder was solved and he had got his story. we have had an analysis group working almost round the clock to discover exactly what happened. then crossed Belgium by way of Liege. She saw a nurse in a white uniform bending over her.Q. ??Bj?rck.M. The organization??s final name became ??the Section for Special Analysis.. She heard the faint scraping of the crutches as he quietly retreated down the corridor. Jerker asked F?lldin not to put a name. ??I hear what you??re saying. and take the day off sick. when the district court released her back into society. He got abuse from five directions at once. but completely unsuitable for this case. On the other hand. What we??re going to do in this book is to state what happened.

He opened his eyes in bewilderment. I would also emphasize that under no circumstances can you make public the information I give you.
30. But when I examined her this morning her temperature had gone up to almost 39.?? When she hung up she called the office and left a message for Fredriksson.?? Figuerola said. She wondered how Holger Palmgren viewed the situation. She was walking to the university when someone shot her with a crossbow. Actually I don??t want to talk about it.M.?? ??I don??t??? ??There are some people who need to have a talk with you in peace and quiet. but there are questions that still have to be answered. She made coffee and poured it into a thermos and then made sandwiches.I. but she supposed that she would have to escape and discreetly disappear abroad herself if she did not want to risk being locked up in some nuthouse again with Teleborian as her warder.?? ??You??d think he and Lundin were themselves the victims of a crime in Stallarholmen. At the same instant Anders Berglund knocked on the door. He was sent to a refugee camp in Upplands V?sby. names and organizational charts. She thought for a moment.I.?? ??O. say. You were the one who met them. What happens now??? Waltari said. He wondered how things would unfold now with Lundin out of the way.

Counter-Espionage said that they definitely had not borrowed him. But the rest is guesswork. If we can verify all the claims Blomkvist is making. My guarantee is this ?? if you don??t wave your magic wand and make all this disappear.?? ??O. His arms were bent in impossible directions. ??First of all. They engaged the psychiatrist Teleborian again and through a representative filed a request in the district court to get her institutionalized for a second time. That??s not a bad step up from this sorry little rag. Then he picked up the telephone. it??s pretty slow today. But somehow.?? ??My colleague is Jerker Holmberg.
They had both left S. It was late afternoon by the time Figuerola was able to convey to Edklinth with some certainty the discovery that Clinton??s and von Rottinger??s careers after they left S. Erlander glanced at Salander and then back to her lawyer.?? ??Something along those lines. we will.

It??s beautiful weather and Saturday afternoon.C. and she left.?? ??You??ll have to get permission from the prosecutor. He logged on to her broadband connection. ??Yes??? ??Erika. The arrow entered at the outside edge of her left eyebrow and went straight through her head. That was her intention.?? ??The whole thing has to do with my contract with Millennium.?? ??Yes.T. And things similar. He did not think that Advokat Thomasson??s visit earlier in the day had been particularly reassuring. He could see two particular gaps that needed attention.

The face was grotesquely swollen.?? Nystr?m said.m. no great fortune.?? Modig said.?? her senior officer said without bothering to greet her or apologize.?? ??Calculating what??? ??I mean. But exactly how it was done I don??t know. Not that there were not warnings.
