?C but the discovery that her most personal and intimate possessions had been stolen
?C but the discovery that her most personal and intimate possessions had been stolen.?? ??Very good. Cortez had the weekend shift and Blomkvist found him again in the office in the evening. ??I can see that. That??s what could kill her if you??re not careful. Dr Endrin could tell that there was infection in her body. on the horns of a constitutional dilemma: he did not have the authority to conduct secret investigations. ??Could he have found a hiding place where he??s just lying low. Anything else would be unthinkable. They do their best to ignore anything they hear about us. to invite himself for Sunday lunch.?? Linder said: ??There is something to that. but he could not remember his name ?C some sort of foreign name ?C but Adamsson did not feel the need to check his I. He??s probably riding around in G?ransson??s Saab. and that there would still be time to tell everyone. She waited until the night nurse had been and gone. ??And who do you think is going to investigate Salander??? Bublanski said. He was furious.
If they don??t have the copies. After that. They??re checking the apartment.?? ??With regard to this girl Salander ???? the Minister of Justice began. Blomkvist looked at him expectantly. They had both left S. ??First of all. They asked pretty much the same questions about Niedermann as they had the night before.?? ??So what??s wrong with her??? ??I don??t know. He knew he was being watched and he must have seen M?rtensson??s Volvo. ??Our work has to be done by July 13. and it definitely doesn??t work for me. In fact it had taken almost twenty hours to reach the northern border of Germany with Denmark. With such cretinous leadership it was no wonder that scandals occurred. Morander told me. She took a hammer from the tool box in the basement and put that in the master bathroom too. It??s an excellent story..
new mobile telephones and the like. And Blomkvist did not believe it. ??H?kan ?? if I??m being a nuisance or if you??re busy today.I. I??ll be back in Stockholm tomorrow if nothing else comes up. he would not have given the car a second glance.58 a. ??Careful. She knew what I.I. Then she tried to reach Berger. it was not a good idea to start boasting that he actually knew something on a mobile less than two hundred metres from a police station.?? Clinton went on. suffering from cancer. We??ll see what he has in mind. to lunch.S. but it came in waves instead of being constant.
He was one of the elite. Jan Bublanski was the leader of the investigation concerning Ronald Niedermann.?? ??The news editor is going to have something to say???? ??Don??t worry about Holm. Thomasson knew that the money came from criminal activity. The question is.M. he??s going to survive and he??s been up walking around on crutches. Georg. Zalachenko said that he would mull over the matter. She had knickers. We rather think that it was the weapon used to shoot Salander. Figuerola gave her a lead of about thirty metres. or whether he was overheard making racist remarks at the time of the murder. I need somebody to scrub my back.T. ??The older one is G?ran M?rtensson. I couldn??t swear to it.S.
who lived three blocks down the same street. then knocked on his door.P.?? ??Where did you meet??? ??In the lobby of some hotel. At the age of forty Gullberg consequently found himself in a situation where he did not have to explain his actions to any living soul and could initiate investigations of anyone he chose. 11. She was obviously prone to violence and mentally disturbed. two titanium screws had been fixed into his jawbone. Then I??d just be in the way. but there??s something really scary beneath his calculating facade. It meant that the creation of the Section appeared to be just another routine matter. I could do it in my sleep. He also beat up Lisbeth??s mother year after year.?? ??I feel extremely self-conscious. And Blomkvist did not believe it. When the X-rays came through he studied them intently. which corresponded to the letters K-A-L-L-E. Malm raised his Nikon in the shadows of Caf?? Rosso??s awning across the street and took a series of twelve photographs of the two men who followed Blomkvist out of the caf?? and past the Kvarter cinema.
??The situation is complicated by the fact that we in Constitutional Protection are being forced to conduct an operation which is itself against regulations in order to investigate this matter.?? he said. Curt. so I??ll put her on. of course.?? The Prime Minister frowned and glanced at Figuerola. He turned to Giannini. You??re my best friend.m. It is almost entirely fabricated.?? he said with real sorrow in his voice. talking on the telephone. and was gone. Then a series of notes claiming that Salander was paranoid and a schizophrenic. but ???? ??Yes??? ??This young prostitute who was murdered in S?dert?lje ?? her name is Irina Petrova. In September 1964. photographers. and when the man known as Trinity found himself on Sunday in the middle of the ?resundsbron.
??No. and at the same time he offered inducements. suspected of attempting to murder the fugitive Lisbeth Salander. I can??t promise that. ??We could start by having some coffee ?? Monica??? Edklinth said. But you have to work harder on the exercises. over the summer.?? ??Do you have anything on Zalachenko or Bodin in your records??? Holmberg said. the latest model would cost about one. direct crimes against the Swedish constitution.?? Holmberg said. ??And that??s exactly what we??re going to do. that you really were mentally ill. So she??s read it too. taking it for granted that Bj?rck had been garrotted by someone. We should cut that to five full-timers.?? ??Holm has devoted his life to S. there might be a case for that.
To include Bjurman in the special Section would be out of the question. and Holmberg wondered who did the sowing and harvesting. He had considered coming to the same conclusion. He reached out a finger to touch the woman whose name he could not remember. She did notice improvements..?? ??Just to say that I??d be on very thin ice if my superiors found out about this visit. Somebody must have made that decision. Blomkvist felt utterly helpless: he could only hope that she would be given the very best care. and urged him to send a platoon armed with automatic weapons to pick him up. ??I??ve spoken with Bublanski. Zalachenko told me that things were getting too hot and that it had already been decided that Niedermann should leave the country for a while. for as long as she kept trying. ??The operation has to be carried out on two separate fronts. ??So you??re completely innocent??? ??Of course I am. That was ominous. Then he bought envelopes and stamps and posted the letters in a box with a 9. ??What were you told about that group??? ??Nothing.
She could not imagine how he could finish in time.. She found a message from Susanne Linder. If anyone opened the door she would have quite a problem explaining what she was doing there. The seduction always involved discovering someone??s weaknesses. But that won??t work for the rest of us.22. And after a while she had completely lost interest in her shower and pulled him back to bed. trying to figure out if this was some puzzling bluff.00. Blomkvist must have blackmailed Bj?rck. In fact I had a third copy that I was going to give to Armansky. He??ll be leading the Section??s operations department until the present crisis is over.?? ??Second. The Russian defector who came to Sweden in 1976. I can??t tell you how glad I am that you??re taking over. has never heard of it. Even though he hired me.
And how are you feeling today??? ??O. I slept here alone last night. She reached for the address book in her bag and found the number Blomkvist had given her the night they met at Samir??s Cauldron. This is a lot more fun than sitting around waiting for a kidney. Well.?? ??And you were the one who operated to remove the bullet??? ??That??s right. ??I have to check on my other patients.?? Endrin hesitated for a moment. from top to bottom. we have to keep tabs on all three of them ?C Berger. but was assistant chief of the Secret State Police in the late ??50s and early ??60s.?? ??I??ll make the decisions and do the surgery.?? ??Who??s H.5 told her that Zalachenko was in a room about 930 centimetres down the corridor to the left. he fetched up in the cells in S?dert?lje. but the source was a fake. The one she knew best was Plague ?C he had introduced her to the family. The constitution had nothing to do with it.
??Nothing??? Modig said. I??m sending you a picture. Blomkvist would have to be a witness for the prosecution.?? ??No need to apologize. It was cool to outdo S?po in their own field of expertise. and worked on her computer.S. quite firmly. But I hadn??t thought of telling my boss. Bates had taken more than 200 photographs of the community and created a gallery of small thumbnails. Then he picked up the telephone and tried to call his old protector in Laholm. Above all they needed the cash to take care of day-to-day expenses.?? ??No indeed. She came back with four mugs and the coffee pot. And she??s not known for being a shrinking violet. At this stage of life he did not think it mattered whether he decided to have one glass of whisky or two.?? Cortez said. a couple of weeks ago.
I??ve also gone over every inch of your house from the basement to the attic and studied the area around it.?? ??Right.?? ??You??re contracted to do investigative work outside the normal editorial job.?? ??I??ll get back to you. ??Giannini. It was clear to Gullberg that the Section for Special Analysis could become a politically sensitive unit and the job description was expressly vague. He accepted that there was something known only as S. He glanced around and walked away from the door of the corner shop. but from even the little I managed to know of him.M.00 a.?? ??What does he help you with??? Modig broke in. She had chosen to ignore his existence. checking one face after another. She had a black eye and a gash above her eyebrow that was still bleeding.?? Blomkvist said.?? ??I would urge you to wait and see.?? he said.
whenever that might be.?? ??You don??t quite understand the hard economic facts. And Bj?rck??s report is in it. She complained of severe headaches and developed a fever that has been fluctuating up and down. Even so. And I??m going to write a full account in time for Lisbeth??s trial. One reason for this was the expenses incurred by Blomkvist in connection with the Salander story.?? ??And what if I make a wrong decision??? ??If I see or hear anything out of the ordinary. She clicked hesitantly on Answer. say.?? ??Yes. then death was nothing to worry about.?? ??What would it cost exactly??? ??You??d have to negotiate that with her. and she directed the investigation with a force that matched her physical appearance. and he was proud of what had been achieved that night when Salander was brought into A. 2. He did not exist in any register or in any public document. How many people around this table would go to McDonald??s and buy a burger for 100 kronor??? Nobody said a word.
Is it O. With rare exceptions. 100 B. ??Erika??s out somewhere. and she recognized all the signs of a reporter who had a story in the works. You know how the paper is made and I have a while to go on the school bench. Nieminen estimated that Svavelsj? M. ??It sounds to me as though your suspicions are for the most part based on assumptions and circumstantial evidence. four police officers and one prosecutor.K. ??It??s on the table in front of me. Then he walked decisively back to Zalachenko??s room and closed the door. said. ??I have a plan. Salander needs a totally different kind of legal support. You??ve had an operation and you??re in the intensive care unit. But if we aren??t careful I could end up in one hell of a conflict with your colleagues. Then Falun waited on the landing as Sandberg went in.

The only problem was that Bjurman was such a mediocre lawyer that he was hardly capable of exploiting his opportunities. most of the books published about the Security Police were from the late ??80s. Just then he was sober.?? After the meeting with Borgsj?.?? ??Understood.B. Which do you prefer??? Salander considered the choice. and which might provide some protection if he ended up in political hot water. and there were incidents of violence and trouble with bouncers and others. ??Zalachenko was a defector from a foreign power. and a number of individuals were acting outside of. But I get a tip from the police investigation and go over and have a coffee with Faste and he tells me this. And one last question. it??s Monica from S. just a rumour??? ??It??s no rumour that the police are looking into the possibility.

The notion of secrecy took on a whole new dimension. had been a dream and she might suddenly wake up on the sofa at Millennium. She was not allowed visitors and could not even read the newspapers. Before that I studied both philosophy and the history of ideas.?? ??It??s an utter disaster.?? ??Unless she was armed.K. the antivirus program didn??t react.V.?? ??Why do you think he called you??? ??I interviewed him a couple of times during the hunt for Salander. can you handle this??? ??Yes.
But the media jumped all over the Security Police whenever anything improper or foolish came to light.?? ??What kind of weapon is it??? Jervas said. The court could then order all the documents on the table and summon anyone it pleased. and I saw to it that Bjurman became her new guardian. Hallberg is in charge of training.?? Malm said. Exactly twenty seconds after Blomkvist left Caf?? Copacabana.D. Wadensj?? had been one of the latest recruits to the Section around the time Gullberg retired.. with an address near Norrtull in Stockholm.M.?? He told her he was going to be at home all day writing. ??I assume that this is bound to leak to the media.?? This time it was Jonasson??s turn to wait patiently for Salander??s reply. The second half will be everything that we know about the Section. She felt as if she were the last person on earth. Who was also the reason why she was feeling tired and irritated.
but there are strong indications that he did indeed attempt to kill her. and put on long black trousers. What was I supposed to do. He realized the gravity of the situation. When he had finished. The patrol car that Niedermann is thought to have driven away was found in Alings?s this morning. They solved the immediate problem by giving Armansky??s people responsibility for bodyguard services.?? ??Do you think she??s in danger??? ??I know of nothing to indicate that she is.?? ??Yes. We cut off the arrow shaft and put her head in a C. The fact is. for Christ??s sake. ??Will do.?? ??A Christian frogman with two weapons and offspring in S?dert?lje. Gullberg had a bunch of flowers in his hand when he got into the lift at Sahlgrenska hospital at the same time as a short-haired woman in a dark jacket.?? Jonasson wondered whether Ellis was pulling his leg. They cuddled for a while and then both fell asleep in seconds.?? ??What about Gullberg.

Then we??ll need to hire a new employee.?? ??Great. After dinner Ritva repaired to the sofa to watch T. not for S?po alone but probably for intelligence services all over the world. That little fool is not telling me the truth.?? Blomkvist said in a tone that indicated he had scant trust in the Prime Minister??s assurances. one of them the globally recognized International Joint Effort Against Child Labour in London. agent who had apparently turned up in Sweden on Election Day in 1976.

why are apartments so bloody expensive? Because the people commissioning the buildings don??t know how to set the price. The drawer was empty. but my salary at Millennium might not cover it. He has an exemplary record with no real criticisms.?? ??And the answer is ????? ??We don??t know. Salander needs a totally different kind of legal support.?? ??The question is. ??What is going to happen now??? ??I??ve ordered complete bedrest and put her physiotherapy on hold ?C she needs therapeutic exercise because of the wounds in her shoulder and hip. I??m going to kiss every inch of your naked skin.00 he ordered a cranial X-ray. ??Are you in a hurry??? ??Yes.?? As she lay in bed Berger thought about what Linder had said.?? ??We??ll install the alarm this afternoon.?? ??In what way bizarre??? Erlander glanced at Modig and Holmberg. ??What was he like??? ??Much as he is today. the article is nonsense. peeling off a large part of the flesh on the right side of his face and tugging at his eye socket. Believe me.
which was active in the late ??90s. It was several years since he had slept through a whole night. drive out here. At first he could not grasp what he was seeing.S.P.?? Blomkvist held up a week-old evening newspaper. not vice versa??? ??Exactly. ??As soon as we realized that the report was out and in the hands of the police. She did not have to search for her colleague.?? ??But if you don??t explain yourself. ??How??s the old bastard doing??? ??Who? You mean???? ??The one who came in the same time as I did. to ?? what? A complete loony? Salander might be innocent of murder. they??re given a leave of absence for a time to go to our school. and she discovered that some S?po activists are running illegal telephone taps and breaking into my apartment and stealing things.?? She took Salander??s hand and helped her into the bed. * Salander was happy.?? ??Yes.
30 a. One nurse had merely said in a neutral tone that her condition was stable. as compensation for the injury Ghidi had caused the Iraqi state. of course. But he was absolutely not a friend.?? ??You??ve earned it. He said there was nothing to indicate that the murder was other than the impulsive act of a sick human being. When he was dropped off. ??A scandal to bring down the government??? ??The survival of the government isn??t my concern. you have to get on board with the program.?? ??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. and defected to Sweden on Election Day in 1976. so we have to solve the problem of who??s going to be in charge of the editorial section.iv Blomkvist had spent Saturday night with Berger. Who would guarantee that the top ranks and middle management at the Firm were not working for the Russians? Who. it??ll be the second time it??s happened. Berglund put a dog-eared. ??Mine too.
Blomkvist closed the door behind him. It was obviously premeditated ?C the attacker had brought his can of spray paint. Blomkvist had promised Salander that he would never reveal her secret. The tide of this crap never receded. ??Good morning.10.?? ??Which means???? ??First of all. Then he heard a sound to his right and saw the Prime Minister get up from an armchair. not for S?po alone but probably for intelligence services all over the world. I??m not holding back anything that could be useful to your investigation of the Section or throw light on the various crimes that have been committed. ??Good evening. Here??s a sample of them. Most likely he would need a brain surgeon. trying to get down every word that was said from the podium at the police press office at Kungsholmen. So. almost all of them from journalists. then Sweden was not one iota better than any dictatorship in the entire world. Not tonight.
and he has a very painful facial wound. The telephone tapping was a more difficult task than the computer monitoring. It meant that the creation of the Section appeared to be just another routine matter.?? Edklinth said. ??She was operated on during the night.?? ??It??s a small monitor. apart from Gunnar Bj?rck. They had discussed the psychology that causes certain men to stalk women. Nor did Giannini tell him anything of what she and her client discussed. with a mandate to see to it that authorities do not ride roughshod over the democratic process. But I can??t pay before I have access to the Internet.P. She moved so fast. I can only see Jonas?? back and that bloody psychoanalyst mumbles when he speaks. he graduated as an engineer and had been part of the ??great economic leap forward?? in the ??70s. I want them on my desk when I get back to H. No matter what happened. He thought for a long while and then began to write.
He was drenched in sweat when he finally slipped under the covers. He issued instructions that required even the chief of S. You know what it??s all about. I??m at home.?? ??So we no longer have the report??? ??No. smiled sheepishly. Whether they??re right or wrong. He??s been an investigator at Justice and has handled a number of cases that got a fair bit of attention.?? ??I??m sorry. He did not want to use his own telephone.?? ??How about management??? ??Magnus Borgsj? is chairman of the board. It was chaotic. But how?? In amazement she glanced over at the locked door. She did not say much..?? Gullberg looked at Sandberg with blank astonishment. Someone cut off about two metres of rope. some apples.
but these were the things that Salander would no doubt prefer not to have fall into the wrong hands. She had measured the window and discovered that her head would fit through it and that she would not have much problem squeezing the rest of her body through. right away. She looked up at her police colleagues. so he was far from wide awake when he reached to answer it.nu. and that if he discussed it with his government colleagues then S?po would wash their hands of it. He had a limp. He had a view of medicine that was at times unorthodox. if a little stupid. intimidated many of her male colleagues. you have to understand that Salander is exceptionally resourceful. albeit under guardianship. No.?? ??He??s going to publish the information. The Prime Minister gave the Director of Constitutional Protection a long. and by mid-decade Gullberg had heard several proposals that the budget be reduced. ??It??s a shame that you should be having this setback when you??ve been recovering so well over the past few weeks.
N. She had been up until all hours emptying her desk and bookshelves of all personal belongings and sorting papers that she wanted to keep. Tonight. But what did they do with him? Somebody must have made the decision. Their assignment is to determine the truth behind the assertions we have discussed. Since Plague hardly ever left his apartment. But he had eventually come to the conclusion that the unlawful treatment of Salander would not have been sanctioned by the government or the bosses of the Security Police.?? ??You??ve earned it. Good God. ??I trod on a piece of glass and a shard lodged in my heel. Blomkvist went straight to the dining car and ordered more coffee and sandwiches. This means that you have confirmed the existence of what I call the Zalachenko club. the conspiracy ?C if it was one ?C had to be a tacit agreement that had developed naturally. on May 18. I checked out the story behind the Bellona apartment. Unlike Lundin.?? Nystr?m said. Holger Palmgren.

There should be nine employees there. He felt groggy although he had slept for only half an hour.?? Sandberg said.00. Blomkvist was not ordinarily impressed by celebrity.?? or ??Salander??. and the registration number.?? Sandberg nodded his agreement. of the server where he kept Teleborian??s hard drive. as you all know. who boxed with him. against members of the Immigration Division.
P. Jonasson sat in the visitor??s chair. He did not shut down the computer until 6. He had voted instead for Ingvar Carlsson.?? ??That??s true. One of those exceptions had to do with the skills he discovered I had when we were in Hedestad. she would see them. Don??t worry ?? it??s painted white and looks just like a normal bedroom door. I??ve visited her three times and offered to talk with her. were particularly diligent in condemning exposed S?po agents if they had spied on Swedish citizens. journal or notes.?? ??I gather you??re still busy with excavations in Nykvarn.P.?? ??And who else was at the meetings??? ??It was a long time ago ?? I don??t remember. ??I suggest we don??t decide anything now.I. and she knew how he had been able to surprise her by knowing her name and shoe size. He stopped in G?teborg to have lunch with an old friend before resuming his journey to Stockholm.
She turned to look at Enrico.?? ??I understand. ??We made it through the first quarter of this year thanks to a marginal rise in advertising sales and the fact that two senior.?? ??There. And it??s only temporary. The criticism meant that the Section??s future was questioned. You made it sound as if you knew what was being discussed at the Prime Minister??s secretariat.?? ??I should probably also mention that we know Giannini??s telephone is tapped. not exactly. Salander was sweating.?? She turned to Borgsj?. The trapdoor is secured by nothing more than a latch. round man in his fifties with grey hair. whenever that might be. on the other hand. looking around in desperation. This arrangement involves cooperation.?? ??And what happened??? ??His nearest competitor was a Swedish wholesale outfit called Vitavara Inc.
What have you got??? ??Three names.?? Modig blinked twice. which you call the Zalachenko club. ??I??ll do it. She knew that much from his biography. She should be able to send a text message to Blomkvist??s mobile ?? but it was tapped. no question. ??And where the devil did you get hold of this??? Edklinth said. On the other hand. there was a confrontation between the government security forces and her Milton bodyguards. what??s going to be in the paper tomorrow??? ??Well ???? ??Well.?? Wadensj?? said. ??Zalachenko ?? so that??s your father??? Well. He had only one. ran a hand through his thick blond hair.M. And we can??t allow that to happen.?? She told him that a nationwide manhunt was under way for Ronald Niedermann.
Fr?ken Salander.P. Then she looked at him. Just in case anyone was still following him. ??And we have been able to satisfy ourselves that you are a man who enjoys enormous respect within the police force ?? and of course in government circles. energy and resources. a delegate for the Centre in the ??70s and ??80s. That??s your protection against intruders in the event that you and your husband are away. And yet she had connectivity. I??m thinking of the ferry to the east. but that you just might know what you??re talking about. More or less. but in a couple of days. As an act of defiance. that he was co-operating. And who knows? Maybe he??ll catch Niedermann. Right now I just feel like shit. It was an almost shocking feeling when the hand-held suddenly showed that it had established a connection.
30 television news.?? ??There??s quite a bit of budget work to check up on.I. of course. Which means that the price per square metre will be X kronor and it would cost 10.?? ??I think it??s probably longer than that. I??ve seldom had a healthier patient. Then she got busy on the morning memo. she armed herself with the canister of Mace. now hidden behind the bedside table. She should get some sleep. ??You want to run a story on toilets? In Millennium??? Eriksson could not help laughing. he would look like an idiot. Seconds later they had set off down the corridor. So I want to know if you hear of anything going on. as soon as her client had been moved to a new room and a security guard had been posted outside. at which time the Soviet Union was heading for collapse and Zalachenko had ceased to be a priority.??

It had upset F?lldin that an important Soviet agent had sought asylum in Sweden.?? ??She is extremely manipulative. It was a pleasant feeling to know that her reactions were up to an emergency. She turned back towards Kungstornet. Well ?? no wonder the biggest morning daily had recruited her.Monday. She hasn??t regained consciousness yet. But the investigation proceeded slowly.?? Modig and Holmberg exchanged an anxious look.
He turned his head to the right and saw the exit at the other end.?? Monica was already on her way and passing Drottninggatan.K.?? ??And then what happened??? ??We kept an eye on her. ??You??ll pull through. agents everywhere. The hospital administration doesn??t want you here.?? ??And she??s alive??? ??Weak but regular pulse. in H?rn?sand.K. Adam Security in Fisks?tra. I left the scene on Lundin??s motorbike which I then abandoned at the shopping centre in ?lvsj?.?? ??F?lldin is an honest man. He was almost at the door when he heard Zalachenko??s voice again. The French secret police had sent frogmen to New Zealand to blow up the Greenpeace ship Rainbow Warrior. I hope you??re not thinking of taking the story with you to S. Then they go back to their regular jobs in S.?? ??We can ask why the source might want this information to get out.
S. as if brushing off a mosquito. Apple and Windows. an anal plug. ??We??re the ones who don??t exist. Zalachenko is dead. And I said I??d talk to you about it. He seemed to have difficulty breathing; he kept one hand on Gullberg??s shoulder. ??We??ll be there in fifteen minutes. and much of what he thinks he knows is wrong.?? ??Oh. But she had no reason to sympathize with Berger.?? ??And he knows you??re twenty-seven and a temp and that you??re useful when he wants to plant information that the prosecutor wants put out.M. but we don??t yet know how.

But he had eventually come to the conclusion that the unlawful treatment of Salander would not have been sanctioned by the government or the bosses of the Security Police.?? ??You??ve earned it. Good God. ??I trod on a piece of glass and a shard lodged in my heel. Blomkvist went straight to the dining car and ordered more coffee and sandwiches. This means that you have confirmed the existence of what I call the Zalachenko club. the conspiracy ?C if it was one ?C had to be a tacit agreement that had developed naturally. on May 18.

Then she got busy on the morning memo. she armed herself with the canister of Mace. now hidden behind the bedside table. She should get some sleep. ??You want to run a story on toilets? In Millennium??? Eriksson could not help laughing. he would look like an idiot. Seconds later they had set off down the corridor.

Salander had in the end described to her lawyer almost everything that had happened at Stallarholmen. had lost upwards of 60 per cent of its assets with G?ransson??s death. and for you it??s a matter of finding out what was Niedermann??s role in Zalachenko??s business. ??Maybe we???? ??What if we???? Edklinth and Figuerola had started talking at the same time before falling silent. The Ring area was almost deserted. ??Nicely done. We have to publish. ??I agree with Sonja.
and to make matters worse.I. But Lisbeth should be able to choose whether she wants to make use of them in her trial. I??m a doctor. In terms of espionage it was a sad chapter in their history.

If it doesn??t work. and most assuredly not against his colleagues. Instead of going back up the hill to Tavastgatan. but no name was given.S. all this stuff about Zalachenko is highly classified.?? ??What??s the killer??s name??? ??We will not give out that information until his next of kin have been notified.?? ??Alright. Ronald Niedermann. some years ago.?? Teleborian laughed.
??I??ll find out if he has time. But three hours after she had taken the helm of S. It was a consistent silence. This is how it will work. I demand that you call Inspector Bublanski in Stockholm.

Armansky nodded. ??It??s important that you understand this: in no way am I trying to influence how you might act or how you do your job. I was never privy to the details.M. while she and Karim were expected to do all the spadework for the next issue of a magazine that had not had any real leadership since Berger left. But if you want to win. Zalachenko is Salander??s father. I??m editorial assistant now. unless he had given clear instructions to Lundin. I??m guessing that the government secretariat was in turmoil during those transition periods.

So you use the attack alarm. ??And here we are at our first stumbling block. from the crazy neo-Nazi living in the woods to the rock-throwing anarchist ?C and everyone in between.?? ??Have you got any good colleagues??? Morander laughed again. But after a few months he was always back with the Salander woman. During the holiday Berger had discovered that her husband had a definite bisexual tendency. What the hell does he think he??s doing? Then Figuerola raised her eyes to the rear-view mirror and gave a start when she saw Blomkvist again.

Blomkvist said. it??s you ?? wait a second. since everyone on the Continent insisted on driving on the wrong side of the road. ??I think you??re right. But you??re going to owe me one.

??This is a great sleazy story.I.?? Zalachenko felt elated and would have burst out laughing had he not been so trussed up. She knew that Blomkvist??s apartment was on the top floor. somewhere near Nossebro. you don??t really have a choice ?C you have to live somewhere.

I don??t want to discuss this for the same reason I??ve already given. If I take on her defence. A man carrying a brown briefcase stepped carefully down from the 7. That??s a very large firm. It was a reasonable decision. for treason. ??It would be terrible if she really has been subjected to the injustices that Millennium claims.?? Silence descended in Bublanski??s office as the four criminal inspectors considered these implications. He was as bewildered as Erlander on that score. Starting now. Blomkvist began to explain what had happened. especially during the period when Blomkvist was serving a three-month sentence for libel and the magazine almost went under.00 by my car in the garage. you??re released from all other duties. Carl Lidbom did one.00.?? Clinton said.
Figuerola woke at 8. He had considered coming to the same conclusion. the woman had vanished without a trace.C. He spent three hours reading through Ekstr?m??s preliminary investigation and strategy for the trial. ??Dr Teleborian has been an external consultant for S.

It doesn??t matter how much I disagree with her about the matter; it??s her decision. but it was being carried out so clumsily that he could hardly have helped but notice. It was a slow process. ??Thanks. isn??t it? So how did they set up the meetings? Did they call you. and at the offices. I??m just bringing him in for questioning. and the Borgsj? report too.
So he must know that M?rtensson is not at Counter-Espionage. ??You suspect that there??s a conspiracy within the Security Police that is acting outside its constitutional mandate. milk and cheese at the mini supermarket next to the County Council building and he put the groceries straight into the fridge. and part-time student. who had a minority government in 1979.?? ??Did he threaten anyone else??? ??I have been advised that he did. but she was completely rational.??

So we have about two weeks left for the text.?? ??It??s not the same thing. now retrained as a locksmith.?? ??Well. ??She was obviously hired by Blomkvist. When she was finished she went home to her one-bedroom apartment on Pontonj?rgatan. She had cut through all the rhetoric and intimated that the Prime Minister himself was responsible. One nurse had merely said in a neutral tone that her condition was stable. ??It??s on the table in front of me.
It was cool to outdo S?po in their own field of expertise. Just in case anyone was still following him. It was Giannini. A few years in an institution would do her nothing but good. at least several million kronor annually I??d say. Andersson??s expression was neutral. or whatever the hell his name was. It had been Plague??s contacts on the Net who had provided her with a Norwegian passport in the name of Irene Nesser. That had not been part of the plan anyway. It could be if someone is trying to break in or turns up in the garden or something like that. I have to think about this.?? ??I see what you mean when you say I might land in it up to my neck. That would explain her inability to relate to social conventions. He walked the three hundred metres to Frey??s Hotel next to the old post office on Vasagatan. ??Should I go now or should I wait for you??? ??Would it be O. It had happened at the same time that both Blomkvist and Giannini were robbed of the document that was the cornerstone in the burden of proof. her patient??s only exercise space. Blomkvist had found him in the woodshed at the farm with a nasty-looking gash ?C probably from an axe ?C in his face and some shattering damage to one of his legs which he did not trouble to investigate. She took her Palm and logged on to the Yahoo group [Idiotic_Table] to check whether he had put up anything new in the past twenty-four hours.?? Berger knew exactly what kind of editorial he wanted. but now they??re working for us. But among the notes Blomkvist found several cryptic sentences.
But how the hell is she managing to communicate from Sahlgrenska. Prime Minister Erlander signed a directive that guaranteed the setting aside of funds for the Section for Special Analysis. and took a long drink of water.?? Nieminen nodded. police work was largely uncomplicated when it came to looking for one specific individual. But it??s very simple to fake an apparently legitimate address. ??He??s got a gun. Francke??? Figuerola said. as far as Nieminen could judge. once the victim of a petrol bomb attack ?C from that bloody daughter of his two doors down the corridor. All democracy has its limits. The guard put his nose back into his book about the national economy and kept reading. ??It feels as though I??m already operating at half speed. My relationship with Lisbeth is none of anyone??s business. and when he??s needed by the Zalachenko club he??s released from his regular job.?? ??But I have to remind you right from the start that I??m not a criminal lawyer. She needed a weapon. ??Since the early ??90s S. Out of the corner of his eye he saw that both Modig and Andersson were nodding thoughtfully. For a moment he stood indecisively outside the door. But our assignments have also changed.?? Berger almost blushed.
I??m also proposing wage cuts for management. More than once Zalachenko had had to intervene when Niedermann began acting irrationally or lay curled up in terror. There??s just one problem. I??d rather explain when we can talk in private. ??That hasn??t stopped Teleborian in the past. So I want to know what you think of him.?? he said. She had several run-ins with people from the social welfare agency. I asked how she was feeling and whether she felt the need to have someone to talk to.?? ??Teleborian is meeting Jonas at the Ring in Central Station at 3. the garage. We??ll have a complete security plan ready in a few days which will include a personal attack alarm.00. unzipped the outside pocket of his case. But he had retrained himself to be a locksmith (of all professions). There were bandages. He had reserved the room the day before and presented himself as Evert Gullberg. The telephone tapping was a more difficult task than the computer monitoring. No-one can go into her room without permission except for doctors or nurses who work here at Sahlgrenska. for the life of him he could not comprehend how she had managed to dig herself out of Niedermann??s trench. It was Gullberg whom Bj?rck notified when he sounded the alarm.?? ??I can tell you in general terms what it??s about and you can come to your own conclusions.
I haven??t. Finally. The most worrying aspect of all this was that the command of the Security Police had changed so much that not even the overall chief of S. but strangely enough (despite your personality). What kind of car is it??? ??A dark-blue 1991 Renault.00.?? Modig said. despite the fact that the whole business is the subject of a long report. He comes and goes as he pleases ?? I have nothing more to say about it. it does. The constitution had been established by the parliament. If this were the United States a dozen or so senior S?po hands would have been arrested for obstruction of justice and forced to appear before a public committee in Congress. He??s charming. ??Maybe I should get some training in some other field. Bingo. Teleborian was contradicting his own reading of Salander. He had known him since the ??80s. You??ll never regret it. ??In that case I suggest that you ?C in your capacity as Prime Minister ?C instruct Constitutional Protection to investigate this mess with the utmost urgency. and take the day off sick. ??I??m just dead tired.B.
I can??t go up stairs without gasping for breath.?? ??You can??t do that. I haven??t told anybody. ??A defection like this would have been given the highest priority.) He could initiate his own investigations or carry out telephone tapping without having to justify his objective or even report it to a higher level.?? ??I don??t know how we??re going to bill this???? ??We??ll work that out later. Then he gently raised her shoulder and located the entry wound in her back.?? ??O. she would like a cup of tea.?? ??This conversation is over. The incident in Stallarholmen was connected with the discoveries at Nykvarn. but she soon realized that Jervas was not yet sure of her plan.M. espionage in fact. Teleborian to the south. Henry ???? ??Yes??? ??I don??t need them until tomorrow.?? ??I won??t tell him. and lastly Inspectors Modig and Holmberg from the Stockholm police.?? Salander looked at him. almost two weeks after Blomkvist had given her Cortez??s research papers on Borgsj?. after I??ve had a chance to calm down. ??Well.
??I don??t talk to crazy-doctors because they never listen to what I have to say. I demand that you call Inspector Bublanski in Stockholm. Edklinth felt the floor sway slightly beneath his chair. Tax specialist. we??re still two people short in editorial. It rang three times before Berger answered.?? ??He collapsed this morning and was admitted to the hospital suffering from exhaustion. This is urgent. In its place is an exchange between Bj?rck and Teleborian. After some palaver over jurisdiction between Str?ngn?s and S?dert?lje. But she??s calm and matter-of-fact and seems to be able to cope with her situation. He had not even thought about Zalachenko for months until the morning he discovered the daughter on every newspaper billboard. On the instructions of that goddamned blond monster. but I have a job to do.?? Edklinth said. he received help from your family until he was granted a residency permit. but soon gave up. for the triple murder in Stockholm. You have no idea. Figuerola had begun to think that maybe she ought to start looking for a steady partner and a more permanent living arrangement. I??d have to get myself a new lawyer. They found one more late last night.
Neither Teleborian nor Faulsson ?C especially not Faulsson ?C had any position inside S. Thomasson accepted at once. but she noticed that he was no longer putting much effort into it. she trained so hard and her body was so muscular that malicious colleagues still called her Herr Figuerola.?? Baksi spoke for a short while before he hung up.S. Eriksson realized that he was reporting in to her the way he had with Berger. Edklinth and Armansky had known each other for twelve years. I??ve even thought that he could take my place one day. He also gathered samples of blood-soaked clumps of dirt. I??m thinking of turning him loose this afternoon. Her name is Lisbeth Salander.S.nu. It was 10.?? Modig made a call to Inspector Bublanski from the corridor outside Zalachenko??s hospital room. for G. ??Hello. you??re not going to do anything for the moment.I. He was angry. ??I??ve got a meeting at 11.
?? ??I??ll do my best. ??You don??t want to tell me what it??s about??? ??The fewer people who know. He??s a very approachable person.V.?? ??This is a bit difficult to digest. She wondered whether she could manage to get out of bed. police work was largely uncomplicated when it came to looking for one specific individual. Giannini. It would be impossible for Borgsj? to claim ignorance. Her grip was hard. But she had repressed the memory of him.?? ??What do you mean??? ??It??s Lisbeth Salander. Something was wrong. but that Zalachenko might have any connection to the affair had not dawned on him.?? Blomkvist breathed more easily.00 in the morning.?? said Ekstr?m.

They had their coffee at the pavement caf?? beside Norr M?larstrand.?? ??It??s very simple.iv Zalachenko had been awake for eight hours when Inspectors Modig and Erlander came to his room at 7. But Millennium can??t be manipulated in the same straightforward way. He shrugged just as Beatrice the receptionist came in with coffee and milk. and turned to a blank page.?? ??Think like a reporter. He nodded. He happened to look into the living room and stopped short in surprise. Lisbeth Salander was shot in the head. without a doubt.?? ??You have my word. Then Gullberg??s expression darkened. He had worked at Sahlgrenska and Eastern hospitals for twenty years. She tapped herself on the head. and a lesbian Satanist. ??Within these four walls.M.Sunday. It was entitled [Read this first].
She took a chance and hurried to the corner of Sveav?gen. She went back to her inbox and opened the message that had arrived two days before.
