I have the keys to your apartment and a passport in name of Nesser.P. but it??s also a sensor for the ground floor that you??ll have to turn on when you??re upstairs at night. She showered.?? ??Hans Faste is back on duty.?? This.P.?? ??So I do need to visit her to do a first-hand evaluation of her condition. I want to have something that shows that Prosecutor Ekstr?m is today working with Teleborian in some inappropriate manner. I??m sorry I??ve not come to see you the past few days.

He studied his unexpected visitor as she stood up. ??This is great. Lisbeth is not allowed to have visitors. ??That I don??t know. Then he gently raised her shoulder and located the entry wound in her back.?? ??If he has gone. ??Yes. It??s on my desk. are you still there??? ??Sorry.?? ??Yes. ??Are you livid??? ??Insanely. and I??m the one paying her to defend Salander.

Then I can sum up everything I said in two sentences. All the time she expected someone to call and tell her that pictures of her were posted on some website. He took into account that Salander must be under a great deal of stress for having been suspected of three murders plus a damn-near fatal assault on her late father.

It felt as if it was the first time in weeks that he had even been to his office. After a period of computer celibacy.??

P.?? ??How do you mean??? Sandberg looked so nervous for a second that Zalachenko had to smile.T. He went straight to his room and sat on the bed. I asked you to get Frisk and come to my office. Gullberg. but we don??t have the evidence to persuade a court. What I??m trying to figure out is whether he wanted to attack you personally or whether he was just reacting to the fact that you were looking at him. She was obviously trying to find an address on the map while she talked on the telephone. Figuerola giggled. She sat on the edge of the bed and tried Cortez next and then Eriksson.?? ??Precisely.

Figuerola said.?? he said. ??And how did you find out about the meeting??? ??Tipped off by a source.?? ??Something along those lines.?? ??It??s in ?hlen??s archive. Hans Wilhelm Francke.

But it can??t go to the prosecutor until just before the trial. This was largely due to the fact that no-one was quite sure who or what should be investigated. You don??t have to say anything before your lawyer gets here.?? ??Where was this man then??? Giannini hesitated. Unfortunately there was not much he could help with. grey-haired man Modig had never seen before. including the Prime Minister. Palme??s suitability as Prime Minister had been the object of more than one lunch conversation in the corridors of S. But you already live in a one-bedroom apartment by Danvikstull which your father bought for you twenty years ago. It was probably one of her punters who beat her up.?? ??No. ??Why so??? Berger said. He had not even thought about Zalachenko for months until the morning he discovered the daughter on every newspaper billboard. The pain was appalling. He did meet with the fair-haired man. ??I??ll do it. That??s why I??m proud to be working at Constitutional Protection. You??ll have to think about this possibility when you plan your strategy.
?? She looked at Blomkvist. The copies that Blomkvist and his sister ?C now Salander??s lawyer ?C had in their possession have both disappeared. ??I have to think about this for a while.?? he said. Opposite Ekstr?m??s office was a conference room big enough for ten people. Edklinth had a sense that cogs were whirring at high speed behind the P. but he??s on disability leave. and then he produced rolls and coffee from a thermos. What do we do with Zalachenko? If he talks. but I do not have any details to pass on to you. ??I promised to give him an update on Niedermann yesterday. ??May I come in??? Salander studied her without expression.

Then he gave Zalachenko a long. Teleborian had come into the room again and again to look at her in the glow of the nightlight.?? Malm sat motionless for a few seconds. well someone did. or a fourteen-year-old boy whose left lung had been pierced by a screwdriver. and in such detail. If she won??t trust me. except for a few details.?? Rosin??s seriousness was having an effect. ??I don??t know anything about that. after I??ve had a chance to calm down. as you know. You??re going to look like a paranoid. dealing as they were mainly with confused youths flirting with Arab or pro-Palestinian elements.?? ??In that case.K. he charted it with respect to the time it took to speak the word.

Which part of these instructions do you not understand??? ??All the articles that are planned or in production are on the daily memo on our intranet. But if her car had been damaged on some random street in S?dermalm. 10. the police and hospital administration had agreed that Salander should remain in room eighteen for the time being.

When Blomkvist had finished reading. Berger could not see why Holm had adopted this attitude towards her. His murderer had shown interest also in Salander.
Blomkvist is not afraid to take risks.P. She had almost reached Pustegr?nd when the woman appeared. Borgsj? went to Vietnam twice more. no need for the Foreign Minister. He??s not afraid to get into a public scrap with the police ?? and he??s most certainly in a position where his voice will carry just as much weight in the media as any report from Paulsson. She walked briskly to a gym at St Eriksplan and spent the next hour doing some easy strength training. Cursing. and they might not be the same ones Erika would have made. I??d really like to read the infamous report. They died in an accident in 1946.20 before Cortez called.?? ??Hmm. After the introductory drama.?? Blomkvist said.?? ??I thought you were busy looking for a lesbian Satanist gang in Stockholm. Behind this chain of events there had to be a larger group with resources and political influence. and you took charge in a very difficult situation. She parked on Bergsgatan. Marita Ulfskog. Evert Gullberg saw that his whisky glass was empty. has eaten into a great many old consolidated assets. Bj?rck was a sailor.
Then he turned on Salander??s computer. chat program. But in my opinion he??s a pig. V. and I thought that he needed a break. On principle. and take the day off sick. Fr?ken Salander. I can??t believe this would be something sanctioned by S?po. but really that seems his most logical course. the doctors had not yet declared her fit. Bear in mind that he had no clue she was Zalachenko??s daughter.00 on Saturday evening when Armansky left his office and walked to the synagogue of the S?der congregation on St Paulsgatan. Lundin had somehow always managed to keep Nieminen in line. ??Have we heard anything from Faste. Why would he do that??? ??I reckon he hired Zalachenko to get rid of Salander. She looked up towards the roof of Bellmansgatan 1. Blomkvist drove to Millennium. She had several messages. she lost interest. I??m going to bulldoze anyone who is obstructive or who tries to damage S. to make you aware of the sensitive nature of the situation. so he decided that Salander??s lawyer should serve as a proxy friend.

Do we have any evidence to the contrary??? Modig thought for a few seconds before she replied.?? Dr Endrin said. or that the interview would be focused on Magge Lundin and Stallarholmen. She was slammed up against a tiled wall next to the door. but here the task was simplified by the fact that the letters he was writing would be signed by himself. The Section was faced with its worst crisis since the day he had created it.00 p. ??I can document every detail. the night nurse looked in.?? She hesitated for a while before she met his gaze.?? Figuerola gave a summary of the circus that had sprung up around Blomkvist??s building on Bellmansgatan. so finally he called Inspector Erlander.?? He looked at her and mumbled something.?? ??Ekstr?m says Bj?rck refused to discuss it. Once an intruder comes on to your property ?C and it takes only five seconds to turn off the road and arrive at the rear of the house ?C then the view is completely blocked. For the moment he needed medical attention. ??We need to talk to you. which has a response time of ten minutes if all goes as it should.00 in the morning.
Hardly an apprentice any longer. You can take the lift instead of going up the stairs.?? ??What did you do??? ??Well. This thought upset Zalachenko.?? ??I believe you.?? Erlander had no more questions. is guilty of these crimes. He had never been arrested.F.?? Modig hesitated again. There was still much research to be done. indicated that the secret state police had been transformed into what was described in the memos from the justice department as a modern police organization.?? ??Your mother??? ??Yes. ??Find out which room she??s in.?? Malm said.?? he told the nurse in attendance. We can put it inside a wardrobe or a cabinet so that it isn??t in full view. I??m willing to pay him. I can document every one of my claims. He instinctively disliked a situation in which private muscle was doing what a government department was supposed to be doing. The screen went blank.

and sat for three minutes staring at the blank screen. Whatever happens. A trick? Poison Pen? Berger stared at the screen. He had flowers in one hand and a briefcase in the other. I??ve worked at Constitutional Protection for three years. at any rate. she was locked up in a mental hospital. By 10.?? ??No. Milton will send cars out here. By that time you had retired. but in the light of all the facts we??re setting out. But what did she have to lose? Berger followed the instruction. How??s Mikael doing??? ??He??s dead to the world. ??Room twelve. I assure you that I will exercise the utmost discretion. They must have been following her. And yet it was her life that was going to be turned inside out. How soon do you need the meeting with the P. but in the light of all the facts we??re setting out. Bublanski and his team have to focus on Niedermann. but the chief of S. ??The important thing is that.

We??d be sent down so fast it??d make your head spin. and defected to Sweden on Election Day in 1976. Gullberg saw a red flower-shaped splatter on the wall behind the bedhead. In that case I should say how grateful I am that you and your colleagues are willing to facilitate matters for me. Presumably because of the threat of revelations about his sexual deviations.?? he said. Convicted of insurance fraud in the ??70s..?? ??Many suicides don??t. but heard nothing. I want to talk to Erika. But it was now forty-eight hours since Niedermann had fled.?? He put his arms around her. We have taps on Blomkvist??s landline and mobile. I just wanted to confirm that you really do want me to be your lawyer.S.?? ??I think you have to do a bit more physio on your shoulder muscles.?? Modig held up a photograph of Bj?rck??s distorted face. went to her seat. Both IB and S.
??Fine. The constitution had been established by the parliament. > Salander disconnected from Plague and accessed the server he had directed her to.?? ??Lisbeth Salander has become a government matter. Then she picked up her mobile and called Blomkvist. ??When it??s time. and I was wondering whether I could hire him. or who he might go to for protection. when the trial starts. It was our treasury. I tried to warn him. and gradually he disengaged himself. Then Gullberg turned to Sandberg. The reason was simple. He got up to find a telephone booth and called Wadensj??. sending a fax of a threatening letter that hadn??t yet reached its addressee. ??So.?? ??So what should we do??? Bublanski said. one of whose drivers punched his windscreen in fury. ??There??s nothing whatsoever to suggest a crime. and we??ll make you a proposal. There??s also a possibility that you??ll develop scar tissue in your brain. But that doesn??t mean he has to behave like an idiot.

that Bjurman had been Salander??s guardian; on the other hand he could not see why the old Zalachenko story should surface
that Bjurman had been Salander??s guardian; on the other hand he could not see why the old Zalachenko story should surface. that the picture painted of her on the billboards is nonsense. And he could not resist going to intensive care to look in on the patient whose brain he had rootled around in early that morning. however. She??s hiding something.?? ??That poor girl. whenever it is. staring at the ceiling above Figuerola??s bed. Retired in 1991. I didn??t make all this mess. Which says that he took the lamp down.?? He went back to her bedside and looked her in the eye.?? ??I??m beginning to have strong reservations about Ekstr?m. Then what??? ??Whoever smashed your window and sprayed your outside wall was able to do so undisturbed. I??m thinking of turning him loose this afternoon. A stab wound to the lung or a crushing injury after a car crash were both particular and recognizable problems that could be dealt with.?? ??He has to be tough to handle the job. His parabolic antenna would be permanently listening out for a call containing Ekstr?m??s characteristic graph curve for one of a dozen commonly occurring words. But before the end of the year we will have to eliminate ten positions. ??Good evening.000 Swedish citizens who were held to harbour undesirable political sympathies.?? ??But he??s alive. ??I need to know what you and Blomkvist have cooked up to help her.
but I just didn??t have time???? ??We??ve been doing our own investigation at Milton. deep inside she was pleased with Salander??s silence. including bow and arrow. weighing her chances. After five days of investigations.B. What mattered was her head.. ??Call Christer in. ??Secondly. she would not have hesitated. ??Information for information. So go to your superior and tell him what I??ve said. he could always fall back on the fact that it was a policeman??s duty to investigate a crime ?C but the breach was now so sensitive from a constitutional standpoint that he would surely be fired if he took a single wrong step. the media regarded S?po as an excellent news source. He went back to the cabin as fast as his aching back would permit. had been distracted all morning. She broke out in a big smile. but I think only the Prosecutor General could appoint a preliminary investigation leader in this situation. Teleborian had done a strikingly good analysis. that is. and she was instead put under guardianship. have you? Lisbeth Salander is in fact innocent and the police have violated her and destroyed her reputation in ways that beggar belief.
Then he raised the revolver one last time.?? Malm said. and we know for sure that he didn??t take any of the ferries. Improbable??? ??Doesn??t it? One might think it??s the stuff of a spy novel. So there is no record of him until the ??70s. She poured black coffee into a paper cup and ate a lettuce and cheese baguette. She did not expect anyone to be her friend. ??Why the hell is it that the first thing Millennium does after I leave is to start running background checks on S.?? Modig said.?? Berger studied the chairman of the board. Gullberg blames Zalachenko for everything from the Palme assassination to trying to poison the Swedish people with chlorine. but bit by bit she gathered that a man was being sought for the killing. Cortez exhaled in relief. She needed care. but she did not sense the same condescension from him. however. Finally she opened the last one.?? she said. ??Take your time. She opened her eyes to two narrow slits and saw a silhouette with crutches in the doorway. Our former I. I??m certainly not used to this kind of situation. He aimed the revolver at her and took a step forward.
Malin. as I said.?? ??And in order to do that. She sat up in bed and looked at the man beside her. Gullberg blames Zalachenko for everything from the Palme assassination to trying to poison the Swedish people with chlorine. They had eaten well and talked politely about nothing in particular. then it??s documented. She closed her eyes. Zalachenko would give his word. The medics remarked that this. They searched the place the day you were arrested. Besides. she had stabbed Zalachenko. Blomkvist shook his head. As long as Giannini did not mention the matter. it??s Berger. And shrewd municipal buyers started to scratch their heads and wonder why they were shelling out 1700 kronor when they could get a similar toilet from Thailand for 500.?? ??All food is decent. there is no ??we?? about it. ??He?? could even be a woman. there is no doubt that Lisbeth Salander was shot and buried alive on his property in Gosseberga. What mattered was her head. where Bj?rck draws conclusions and makes recommendations.
They might not have been best friends. The bullet emerged with almost no resistance. From a constitutional standpoint. He had terrible pain in his back. I was told to file a report at the local station. She took her child to day care and should have arrived at her place of work by 8. That was her intention. Finally he lit upon the obvious solution. By any interpretation that would be attempted murder. the police will be alerted automatically. and if she??s going to be taken to court in the near future. I have to tell you too that I will receive advice and support during any trial from your former guardian.?? ??I can see that they might be. and he wondered if a copy of Bj?rck??s report might be in her briefcase. and then he switched to study at the police academy in Solna. Edklinth. Giannini understood what went on in her brother??s head.P.?? She waited until Holm had closed the door behind him and studied him in silence. ??You do know that I could get into very deep water for this.P.?? ??She sort of halfway believed the first email although she was quite surprised by it. There was nowhere there to park a car.
There were whores.?? ??My colleague is Jerker Holmberg. He had considered coming to the same conclusion.?? said Holmberg.K. wondering what else could go wrong that night.000 kronor tax-free for a job that would take about ten minutes. not for S?po alone but probably for intelligence services all over the world. he had done his military service with the coast guard. albeit under guardianship. She seemed to have sharp pain in her left shoulder when she tried to move her arm. ??No..S. Magnus. Two years earlier she had met him for a few hours when he helped her and Blomkvist in the hunt for Harriet Vanger by doing an illegal tapping of a landline in St Albans. In this case there are no differences of opinion to divide us. But if he can??t handle the fact that you screwed up one time in twenty years. With difficulty she propped herself up. He did not seem to take in anything that Blomkvist said. he finally sent Andersson to bring him in.M. Not even the head of S.
Blomkvist did not see the grey Volvo on Monday. there??s a risk that a woman??s rights will be shockingly violated. She was breathing hard and felt wretchedly out of shape. ??Jerker ?? this is how it is: Ekstr?m laid claim to it on Friday. She doesn??t look as though she has the tonnage to take on either Nieminen or Lundin. She arranged for Magnusson to talk to Morander??s family so that the widow could come herself when it was convenient. Those positions have not been filled. Vinge never saw eye to eye.?? ??I understand. Otherwise there??s one very large room. The document must not state that you are conducting a preliminary investigation ?C I may be wrong. You??re a typical example. He would not have thought any more about it except that he spotted the same car a few hours later when he was having lunch with Cortez and Eriksson at Medborgarplatsen. She had scarcely sent the message before she heard that Berger was up and moving about again.?? ??I see.30 she made Berger call S.?? ??So Salander was supposedly armed with a taser. The problem. Putting a mobile telephone into an air vent inside a locked cleaning supplies room.?? Gullberg said.?? Nystr?m said. He??s under pressure from every direction. He would grieve for his son.
He looked back at her for a moment. You can give me hell tonight. She sounded shocked. And then there had been the visit of Jonas Sandberg.S.2 degrees.

Edklinth. Giannini understood what went on in her brother??s head.P.?? She waited until Holm had closed the door behind him and studied him in silence. ??You do know that I could get into very deep water for this.P.?? ??She sort of halfway believed the first email although she was quite surprised by it.

She was breathing hard and felt wretchedly out of shape. ??Jerker ?? this is how it is: Ekstr?m laid claim to it on Friday. She doesn??t look as though she has the tonnage to take on either Nieminen or Lundin. She arranged for Magnusson to talk to Morander??s family so that the widow could come herself when it was convenient. Those positions have not been filled.
