From
the inside flap
“Lisbeth
Salander─the fierce, unstoppable girl with the dragon tattoo─has disappeared.
She’s sold her apartment in Stockholm. She’s gone silent electronically. She’s
told no one where she is. And no one is aware that at long last she’s got her
primal enemy, her twin sister, Camilla, squarely in her sights.
“Mikael
Blomkvist is trying to reach Lisbeth. He needs her help unraveling the identity
of a man who lived and died on the streets in Stockholm─a man who does not
exist in any official records and whose garbled last words hinted at possible
damaging knowledge of people in the highest echelons of government and
industry. In his pocket was a crumpled piece of paper with Blomkvist’s phone
number on it.
“Once
again, Salander and Blomkvist will come to each other’s aid, moving in tandem
toward the truths they each seek. In the end, it will be Blomkvist─in a moment
of unimaginable self-sacrifice─who will make it possible for Lisbeth to face
the most important battle of her life, and, finally to put her past to rest.”
Review
Twice is another
excellent, burn-through entry in the Millennium series, more action-oriented
and lighter in tone and storyline than its predecessor books. As with previous
Millennium stories, Twice’s references and events are timely, this time
around because of certain characters’ ties to Russia, hacking and other dark,
often nefarious, deeds and intentions. At this point in the series, there are less revelations
about its key characters (the Salander sisters, Blomkvist), making it feel less
personal than its first four books, but this is not a problem for this reader, because
Twice is an entertaining wrap-up of sorts, concluding the second within-the-series
trilogy. This, like the other books in this series, is
worth owning.
