Labeled as a 'Lisbeth Salander novel', Lagercrantz picks up the stories of the characters in the Dragon Tattoo series in what I expect will be several installments. The plot revolves around solving a murder, the victim is involved in development of high level computer artificial intelligence, and Lisbeth had been helping him to determine who had hacked into and stolen his work, while Mikael Blomkvist was about to take his story public. Lisbeth continues her own high level hacking, this time into the NSA files, which sets off a separate investigation.
This new novel has an engaging plot plus some new villains and does move Lisbeth's story forward in some new directions. It is not as complex a novel as the earlier works, but more of a fun read. Translated from the Swedish. 400 pages
