One week later he had reached retirement age and handed over to his chosen successor
One week later he had reached retirement age and handed over to his chosen successor. If things came to a head. On this law democracy stands or falls. Could you find Johannes Frisk and bring him to my office asap??? She waited patiently until Holm sauntered into the glass cage with the reporter Frisk in tow.?? ??I??m hardly the person to criticize you for abandoning ship.50. But that??s not why you came.?? Eriksson said. ??Well. ??So you??re sure that he came to the door of this room??? ??I heard him trying to push down the door handle. She had her own film of a personal nature which showed how Advokat Bastard Bjurman had raped her. you can write an article on the subject if you want and we??ll publish it. yes. Their successes were never reported. There had been wild speculation in the media after it was revealed that Blomkvist was the one who had found Salander. She had no memory of seeing the folder that morning. ??Here we are again. I??ll ask you for 500 kronor a night to sleep here the rest of the week.T. On the right. ??Good morning. They take care of their normal jobs and do some discreet moonlighting for us should the need or opportunity arise. Annika Bloody Giannini was most likely on her side. came out to look at the damage. and for several reasons. from top to bottom. but in effect he confessed and slunk home with his tail between his legs. and a mentally ill lesbian mass murderer. and the male visitor took 14 steps to cover the same distance.

Zalachenko was out there somewhere.?? ??Jesus. This is getting us nowhere. ??Probably not. I understand you called last night. ??that until yesterday afternoon we had never heard of either Zalachenko or Niedermann. She was given a pack of nicotine gum. but until such time he??s the police??s problem. Under the circumstances neither of these epithets could be considered wide of the mark. Zalachenko had good reason to hate the girl. The focus has shifted to Niedermann. Nurse Nicander came back with the number of the Radisson. She took out her mobile and looked at the time display. But someone with Niedermann??s distinctive appearance is not going to go unnoticed for long. He had Salander??s keys to her burgundy Honda. ??You wanted to know if Ekstr?m had a meeting. gathering up Blomkvist??s documentation. so he waited for her to finish her call. She took a sip of coffee and had just opened her mouth to take a bite of toast when she heard the headlines. But she could see that he was lost in his own thoughts. but he also has a reputation for being crusty and obstinate.?? ??But this thing with Erika is a real fly in the ointment. I get on considerably better at Milton than on the force.?? ??I would urge you to wait and see. Power Struggle for S?po by Erik Magnusson.?? She nodded.?? He greeted Edklinth without shaking hands and said hello to two colleagues who were apparently part of his team. putting on a jacket as he switched off the lights and locked the door to his office. even if the friend was impossible and obviously flawed.

If you imported directly from the factory in Vietnam. ??I??ve read Dag Svensson??s manuscript.?? ??Do I have a say in this??? ??No. ??Twenty-two minutes. That unnamed individuals in government circles had great confidence in him implied that he could count on their gratitude if he played his cards right. even if she had no say over the magazine??s contents.?? ??The whole thing has to do with my contract with Millennium.. But she had repressed the memory of him.?? Blomkvist said. I think you surprised us all.Monday.P. Unfortunately there was not much he could help with. He had mentioned her in an email.P.?? ??Apart from the two nurses. Efficiency was valued more highly than background. I got a message that you were looking for me. That will be done later this week. will Millennium??s publication clash with our investigation. If Borgsj? took that tack he would be exposed as a liar. and when he??s needed by the Zalachenko club he??s released from his regular job. ??I ?? I can??t discuss this matter. A trial during the peak holiday season would attract less attention than one at any other time of the year.?? ??It??s Mikael.?? ??I??ll give the go-ahead tomorrow. I can document every one of my claims. When the trial begins.

?? ??The government does not cover up criminal activity. Berger could not see why Holm had adopted this attitude towards her. and a man who could act ruthlessly when necessary. Our opponents ?C who include several high-powered figures and certain psychiatrists ?C are of course also preparing for the trial together with Prosecutor Ekstr?m. If Volvo built cars the same way. terribly sorry. She remembered the terrible hatred she had felt. What are their working conditions like? What do they actually do? That sort of stuff.D. and who at that moment was sitting in a ditch on the road to Nossebro tied to a traffic sign. Armansky had contributed this information. He washed the dishes. She looked at the text for a minute and pursed her lips.. So good that I can read and copy what??s on Ekstr?m??s machine. I tried to persuade Paulsson to bring in a dog unit???? ??It??s on its way now. playing badminton.30. Even so. Clinton is retired. The Volvo with the registration beginning KAB was in the car park about thirty metres from where Figuerola herself parked. to leave all of you in the lurch in such a bad situation.?? They exchanged hotmail addresses. If I understand the matter correctly. Is there anything you want us to do??? ??No.?? Wadensj?? said.?? ??Which is??? ??I??m an investigative journalist. He could not see anything remarkable. 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.

?? ??Barring the unforeseen.?? ??Then I discovered that you were tailing him using Susanne Linder at Milton Security. or resign from S. barring unforeseen complications. She was being stalked. When she came back to Sweden. We expected her to be away for much longer. ??Sorry. I should perhaps mention that I opposed that action. that??s a fee I??ll gladly pay. But she was not someone who went in for one-night stands.. was Zalachenko. the incident might be included in that year??s statistical compilation. She could just reach it without having to move her body. ??Nothing today. what tone of voice and frequency range it had. The man is a tragic figure who evidently acted alone. Within a few hours the Section had taken on tangible form. They??re the last people he??d want to run into. and put her through. ??We need to work on the ??cheese plane?? principle. where Plague had uploaded all the administrator rights for S. She went through three months?? worth of messages one by one. ??The pathologist??s final report arrived this morning. He heard the sound of the chopper and watched as it banked through the storm squalls down towards the helipad. I would use the thinnest forceps you have. She could give a good description of the woman. The customer??s going to have to pay.

??Hans Wilhelm Francke. Incoming calls were simpler because they were preceded by the fingerprint that would enable the telephone in question to receive the signal. however. He was shown to Zalachenko??s room. More than just fine. picked up his laptop case. was everything quiet again in her room. He enjoys indulging in intrigue and playing people against each other. He was pleased with the text. Figuerola could see that the area surrounding Bellmansgatan I would be a nightmare to keep under surveillance. sharp-witted and charming. was born in Hamburg. She had a headache again. and he seemed unconcerned with prestige. Zalachenko had been shot by a 78-year-old tax specialist. The Zalachenko story was beginning to get tremendously complicated. The job fell to a young man who had worked at S. which corresponded to the letters K-A-L-L-E.?? ??But she needs ammunition. you have to understand that Salander is exceptionally resourceful. ??No. But for the time being all this lay outside Zalachenko??s control. Then she ran a check in the criminal records and got a hit at once.?? ??And what about his demand ??. Once he had understood how the telephone network functioned and realized how hopelessly antiquated it was. Even so. He had used the signature Kalle. Three were messages to call Berger.?? ??O.

She had been talking on her mobile and looking at a map that was unfolded on the passenger seat. I??m furious at the state and the government and S?po and all these fucking bastards who for no reason at all locked up a twelve-year-old girl in a mental hospital until she could be declared incompetent.?? ??If I have the energy. This is how it will work. It was a girl the same age as your patient here. I don??t want a single ?re from Armansky or Kalle Blomkvist. ??What is it??? the P. He could not move it even a millimetre. They??ll try to stretch the boundaries. Someone decides that a certain person should be given a particular level of clearance. To Modig??s great frustration the meeting in Ekstr?m??s office was lasting a long time. which came a couple of times a week. Blomkvist??s taxi got to Central Station at 3. Lisbeth Salander had seldom rung for a nurse if she did not have a severe headache or some other equally serious problem. ??Evert ?? you have to understand that ?? we don??t do things like that any more. Documentation to the hilt. 4. ??We need to talk to you. if I understood correctly ?C is to clean corridor 11C. you might develop epilepsy or some other problem. She held her breath until they were some distance from the conference room in which she was trapped. No doubt someone made a blunder when the cover story was devised.20 in the afternoon. Call her. Francke was a bit of a cowboy who saw K. I??m being paid a monthly salary of 88. He gritted his teeth. Even if she??s acquitted of murder. Twice convicted for beating his ex-wife.

that is. She got up from the bed and made for the shower. and S. for example. and would have to be removed. She explained what she needed to have done. recently treated for depression. ??I??ll gladly listen to other suggestions. until the whole gang ended up in the slammer for fraud. or someone close to him. You??ll have to do something about the food at this place. ??That??s a guess.??? ??Are you bullshitting me??? Ellis had lived in Sweden for many years and was fluent in Swedish ?C albeit with an American accent ?C but when Jonasson spoke to him in Swedish. unfortunately.S. but there was no alternative. The difference. defeating a number of male armies along the way. and she limped into the kitchen and sank on to the nearest chair. She was cured.?? Salander said breathlessly. ??Can you open your eyes??? Who was this bloody idiot harping on at her? Finally she did open her eyes.?? ??Micke. At 2. and one from Berger. And I soon found out that some crimes are never even investigated. The attack alarm consists of two buttons that you press simultaneously and hold down for three seconds. at least. when Figuerola excused herself and went to the gym for some peace.

?? ??I??m having trouble digesting it myself. A Colt 1911 Government ?C that??s the pistol that Blomkvist tried to hand in to Paulsson. It must have been backed by the government. must have been persuasive. the better. she called the duty officer at Nacka Integrated Protection. ??You don??t know about the tattoo Bjurman had on his abdomen??? ??What tattoo??? Blomkvist was taken aback. Zalachenko was technically an immigrant. And the prosecutor will soon be having you transferred to a prison in Stockholm to await trial in six weeks.?? He greeted Edklinth without shaking hands and said hello to two colleagues who were apparently part of his team.?? ??That??s true. Then she picked up her mobile and called Blomkvist. but didn??t find anything that stood out. however.T. Agneta Sofia Salander would necessarily disappear into an institution for long-term care. but he seemed peripheral. Clinton had probably been Gullberg??s closest colleague for twenty years. whose task it was to handle the most sensitive of the sensitive. I want you to know that what I??m discussing with you now has nothing to do with my dealings with Holm. congratulations seem to be in order rather than any weeping or gnashing of teeth. Berger was in her B. I??ll even arrange for somebody to carry you back and forth on a stretcher if necessary. In other words.?? ??It is. I??ll be in the cage for a while. If you arrange that they??re going to lose money.?? ??Hans Faste is back on duty.?? * Berger went to bed at 11.

then three murders in Stockholm. He??s the one you take your orders from. Figuerola sat motionless for thirty seconds. It was a gigantic step up from Millennium with a staff of five to a daily newspaper with eighty reporters and another ninety people in administration. but they were utterly expressionless as she looked at Jonasson. Berglund put a dog-eared. He got into the lift and stood perfectly still. but after everything that was in the media about her it seems a bit hard to swallow that Salander could be completely innocent. Borgsj? is going to be fired. He heard the sound of the chopper and watched as it banked through the storm squalls down towards the helipad. A half-empty thermos of coffee. He did this after studying a video from Ekstr?m??s press conference.P. a little sense of responsibility would not hurt. She knew that he was only two doors away.S. the computer had reacted to three keywords ?C immigrant. evacuation and break-in protection. Until she had access to a computer. But the elderly man who came in at the same time as you is critical but out of danger. The night porter at the Radisson was very reluctant to wake a guest at that time of night and Jonasson had to come up with a few choice phrases about the critical nature of the situation before his call was put through. Things did not change until 1977. and then attended a vocational school and earned a certificate as a trained telecommunications technician. She closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. She sent him the access codes for S. was but she seldom chatted. He had kept working on the articles that were to go into the summer issue. and since he did not see any blood in the woman??s mouth he concluded that probably it had not. a couple of times.

I don??t know if it was your father or somebody else in the family who helped him. He sat in the visitor??s chair and leaned back.000 kronor. A colleague sent for the forensic report on the patient.?? ??I can see that they might be. strengths and weaknesses of all his colleagues. The seduction always involved discovering someone??s weaknesses. was alive.I.?? ??Where was this man then??? Giannini hesitated. Personal Protection had the smallest budget of any unit in the Security Police. just a rumour??? ??It??s no rumour that the police are looking into the possibility. ??I want Paulsson in here for a chat. and checking how she swallowed. He was suddenly aware of Nurse Nicander saying something. then he??d do it.?? Gullberg pondered this news. That??s why I insisted on seeing you at once. a new generation of civil servants had come through. She was then placed with a foster family.?? Blomkvist turned and looked at her profile. She had no intention of doing that. so she went down to the tunnelbana concourse. And now I have the world??s worst guilty conscience. ??She??s been described as a psychotic. her stalker must have been somewhere nearby when she parked it.?? ??Indeed. however. ??Go to work.

Shit. Then she looked at her husband. Then Dr Jonasson and Blomkvist had upset her plans by smuggling in her Palm. and ?? it just didn??t ever seem like the right time or place. ??A nasty attack in G?teborg and a break-in here in Stockholm. do you know anything at all about the murderer??? ??Not a thing. account pinged. and the rest of the staff. I??m going to hang them out to dry. Then an animated door opened and a Lara Croft-like figure stepped out. ??Certainly. you should set off the alarm. Wasp wrote. She was locked up inside her shell and kept her distance from those around her.S. An exclusive address in a fine old cultural quarter. if that had been possible. or at any rate hobbled out. In its place hung a rope from a hook. as if Blomkvist were not in the room. But no amount of speculating could change the fact that the crime scene investigation offered no grain of support to the theory that a third party had helped Bj?rck on his way. ??Hello. Advokat Palmgren. Then identify the other person in the pictures taken by Blomkvist??s photographer. If the pinkos want to avoid a war with Denmark. Zalachenko had been referred to Thomasson through a business associate five years earlier. thought Malm. But both of them were part of the circle closest to Zalachenko. ??Good evening.

??Why didn??t she tell anyone before??? he said at last. But they were every one of them computer wizards. with which the company had a contract. ??I don??t know.?? She sat down. she had kept on playing with the equations. Then he smiled. ??I??m taking a big risk here. It was not a skilled collage. a dental nurse who lived in Alings?s. 8. He had made coffee and he poured her some. she had assembled everything that could be found out about him in the public archives. 1. and that his updated version included the latest versions of Unix. there did not seem to be any intelligible basic overview of the activities of the Swedish secret police over the years. Do you see what I mean??? ??Yes. you may not speak with anyone but myself and Monica Figuerola. which had a range of ten to twelve metres. which meant that policemen would die and Niedermann probably would as well.?? ??You??ll get only one guarantee from me.M.?? Blomkvist found Berger sound asleep on the sofa-bed in her office. everything related to the Zalachenko case is Top Secret.?? Modig and Holmberg exchanged glances. but it??s been three years since the last time. ??Does it feel tight??? ??A little. Blomkvist had come into the building via the garage. She has been called a psychopath.

?? Blomkvist said nothing. and when I asked for it back he said he??d make me a copy.00. even if she did not sleep.Q. Usually he was cool and analytical. Two masked men had robbed at gunpoint a shop owned by an immigrant.S. She took her child to day care and should have arrived at her place of work by 8. But if he does. the I. There??s bleeding there. Let me put it on record that you do not have to say anything at all. He did not want to do it at the hotel where he had been staying.. I??m now on a side street off Linn??gatan. turned to the Minister of Justice.P. I urge you to listen to his story and answer his questions.?? Jonasson unlocked the door and ushered the visitor in.?? They talked for almost two hours over sandwiches and coffee. What are you up to??? ??I??m sitting at home sorting through my collection of photographs of old lovers.?? Ekstr?m said. and then in fact report to another employer??? ??Something like that. The most disturbing was the attack on her house. We had experience with her pathology compiled over many years. If he claimed not to have known that many of the workers there were only twelve or thirteen years old. at least. He suffers from a disease called congenital analgesia.

??Since this report surfaced. I??ve thought about it. Niedermann was a suspect in the murders of Dag Svensson and Mia Johansson. In any case. She looked at her husband and her friend.?? ??Correct. ??She can be a moody bitch. I.?? ??What is it??? ??Out here.?? Edklinth gave Blomkvist a look of surprise. Then she turned directly to the head of the Violent Crimes Division. they??re once again going to try to throw as much shit at her as they can. Eleven rooms and apparently a bit of a snazzy joint. presumably more or less simultaneously with the writing of the original report.?? ??I don??t like institutions that are beyond normal parliamentary scrutiny. But do you want me to represent you??? Salander gave a curt nod. She wore only a pair of wet trousers and a thin sweater. she had pushed all thoughts of the Section to one side and concentrated on Berger??s problem. That was unusual.00. Not everyone can afford security. ??Is that what awaits us??? he said. Salander was locked up at Sahlgrenska. Then he leaned forward.?? ??Well.?? Silence. staring straight ahead. She felt tears in her eyes.?? she said.

Figuerola and Blomkvist were waiting for him. But I want to play it safe.D. but as soon as anyone came out on to the street. ??Imbecile. In March 1989. They cuddled for a while and then both fell asleep in seconds. and stared for a moment into the distance. why they were killed. Then gingerly he closed the door. Blomkvist hung up and rested his gaze on the notebook on his desk. ??I ?? I can??t discuss this matter.?? ??Aren??t there any positive aspects??? ??Of course there are. By lunchtime she had such a headache that the nurse called Dr Endrin.S. He had transferred the most crucial documentation to her desk. Then he spoke in a lighter tone of voice. Unfortunately I won??t now be able to discharge you for at least two more weeks. Salander leaned back against the pillow and followed the conversation with a smile. we have to be decisive and resort to tough measures.?? ??Where are you??? ??Nyk?ping. The only person who can decide your future is you. ??You??re a filthy swine. but I assure you it??s in no way illegal. perhaps on their way to cover the May Day parade.?? ??M?rtensson. as well as the government. He??s ambitious and on the lookout for anything that will benefit his career. Gullberg paid his hotel bill and went out to the street.

I already know that. was a brand-new form of bandage.?? ??I don??t think so. or possibly a ridiculous dream. Don??t misunderstand me. He left the firm after ten years and opened his own practice.?? ??Micke ?? I??m so sorry. The same D. but when she got to the corner. they displayed towards her an attitude that was so antediluvian it was almost comical. but I think we??ll put that idea on the back burner for now.?? ??Alright.I. At a time when the newspaper was on the edge and a campaign of rejuvenation was under way. But the thing is. I??m asking you to cooperate in the interests of the country.R.?? ??You don??t understand the situation???? ??I??m tired of hearing that I don??t understand the situation.B. She poured black coffee into a paper cup and ate a lettuce and cheese baguette. the supplementary information that the prosecutor considered irrelevant to the preliminary investigation. Kalle Bloody Blomkvist had somehow planted a mobile just outside her room. It was nothing to him if people wanted to dress up in costume. It was. They had eaten well and talked politely about nothing in particular. But he had sent in the charger for her Palm.?? Jonasson wondered whether Ellis was pulling his leg. What??s on your mind??? he said at last. ??The private investigators won this round.

?? Modig hesitated again.?? ??But in this case you already have. But right now she had to make decisions on several matters. I??m now on a side street off Linn??gatan. Falun did not know exactly what interests Clinton represented.?? ??I don??t have any news on Salander. You all know our deadlines. ??What happened??? he said. they knew what had provoked Lisbeth to do what she did.I. Gullberg went to Salander??s room and tried the door handle. she thought. She had a brace on her neck. The first patrol car with Torstensson and Ingemarsson from the station in Trollh?ttan arrived a few minutes after the helicopter landed. T.?? Clinton went on. With text on the back. The constitution had nothing to do with it.M. Erlander shook his head.?? ??And since she went into your building I assume that Milton has put in some sort of hidden surveillance of your flat. How much would all that stuff weigh? No. I??m only interested in the Zalachenko club. That was such a monstrous crime that Edklinth felt yet more apprehensive. Then he picked up the telephone and tried to call his old protector in Laholm. who had evidently stayed at Berger??s house the night before and who had emailed a report late that night. ??Thanks. He looked somehow familiar. Malm wanted to know what had happened in Gosseberga.

The bleeding had apparently subsided. ??Come in. and the growth in readers in their twenties is almost zero. She was a little side project that Lundin was messing around with ?? again commissioned by that bloody Niedermann. where everyone was surprised to see him up so early. and he??s probably been trying to protect him. turned to the Minister of Justice. Erlander said: ??I knew Officer Ingemarsson personally. ??An amateurish tattoo across his belly with a message that said: I am a sadistic pig.?? ??And the entire underworld should be excluded as well ?? Any girlfriend we don??t know about??? They could speculate. who should have knocked on the door of my office and explained the situation. Erlander said he would call if her condition took a turn for the worse. Protest meetings were held and petitions were sent to Minister of Immigration Birgit Friggebo. ??Twenty-two what??? said Holm.K. The day that Zalachenko was shot there was a robbery at my apartment. sitting on the bed. And since I??m co-operating with your Stasi-style bureaucracy. Just before 6. as a matter of fact. I??ve borrowed a room from the rabbi so we can speak undisturbed. ??I??m going to???? ??You??re not going to do anything at all.?? ??Some girl. He slowed and turned on his windscreen wipers. We don??t know his last name. He went to the bathroom to shower and brush his teeth. I considered her request for cigarettes more of a joke than a serious need. When her lawyer spoke to her she had listened with only half an ear. he was suspected of running errands for the Yugoslav mafia.

It was Gullberg whom Bj?rck notified when he sounded the alarm.?? ??Ah ?? yes. Niedermann got away.?? ??He is forbidden to talk about it.I. Lisbeth. It??s in direct line-of-sight of the reception desk and the nurses?? station.?? Clinton waited. I have to get him to listen to reason. The trail ends there for the moment. There might have been some risk that the sound of the breaking window would be heard and someone might have reacted ?? but your house sits at an angle and the sound was deflected by the facade. Zalachenko??s biography was still vague ?C all he had was what he had blackmailed Bj?rck to reveal.?? ??He collapsed this morning and was admitted to the hospital suffering from exhaustion. We have to check their email. and one in Nacka. Which is why she??s chatting with the editor-in-chief of one of the biggest newspapers in Sweden. It could be an old woman who had collapsed from a heart attack in the Nordstan galleria.A. There was no time to act. she was locked up in a mental hospital. When Holmberg told him that we suspect that Salander was locked up by the people who were protecting Zalachenko. Then he picked up the telephone. The risk you are running is that you could have bleeding in your brain. at least until each of them has been identified. and therefore it could not be infiltrated. ??Go to work. Convicted of safe-cracking in the ??80s and some other minor stuff. her army scattered.P.

She had almost reached Pustegr?nd when the woman appeared. ??What I am able to do. but Paulsson presumably thought it was Blomkvist??s own. They went to the bar with Niedermann.?? Blomkvist breathed more easily.?? ??I??m having trouble digesting it myself. ??We found out a certain amount about von Rottinger and Clinton. I??m into my third day with hardly any sleep. She turned it on and searched for connectivity.M.?? ??Me too.?? She paused. later this morning.?? ??I mean ?? they called you. Holm was off today. burglary and receiving stolen goods. For the Section.S. He would scorch us out of sheer malice. and when he was sixteen he had advanced to the extent that he could compete with the best in the world. still sleeping soundly beside her. But he could not work out this strange girl. ??Call Christer in. He would function as a contact person in matters relating to the defector. I??ve already handed over evidence that Teleborian committed crimes with Bj?rck in 1991. will have to cobble together.O. and together we would have decided what to do. ??You know what I would have done.

??So what??s this visit all about then??? Holmberg looked out of the window and saw a magpie land next to his car and peck at the ground.00. ??I??m going to???? ??You??re not going to do anything at all. Someone had left a pencil there.?? Salander said without enthusiasm. well. there was a downpour. who had sent him the brisk advice: It would be best if you took the first train home. She looked up and down the block. in accordance with his own paranoid delusions. Neither of them had noticed the man in the lobby who had been watching them as they stepped into the lift. She??s Blomkvist??s sister. to defend Swedish democracy against real or presumed anti-democratic threats. Figuerola saw the man in half-profile and memorized the registration number. that the picture painted of her on the billboards is nonsense. I??m inviting the media to a press conference. She would be forced to explain herself and to beg for forgiveness because she had defended herself.?? ??Then that??s how it??ll have to be. ??I can find my way. Bublanski was working only on Niedermann. on paper at least. I took certain measures. was not much better than S. You have the option to remove me as leader of the investigation ?? but if you did that I would be forced to write a harsh memo about the matter. the human resources were available.?? ??You don??t understand???? ??I understand perfectly. starting when she was a child. He was the one who recruited you. keeping his weight on his uninjured leg before trying to stand on the other.

??Do you mind if I check??? He made his usual examination. F?lldin was never told Zalachenko??s name. The heavy weapons cabinet stood wide open. out every day. For the construction industry it??s the opposite.00 in the morning. Blomkvist headed into Berger??s ?? wrong. He shook his head. Giannini. It??s a typical pre-emptive retaliation to undermine potential complaints from Blomkvist. blood pressure is 100/70. On Sunday morning they said a hasty goodbye before Berger drove home to her husband. Blomkvist is not afraid to take risks.?? He burst out laughing.?? She laughed. Illegal tapping is the domain of government authorities. had made some damaging discovery about Millennium??s chairman of the board (who happened to be herself) ?C they would not have hesitated either. The problem would then unfold in two parts. in which steroids also appeared??? ??Not that I know of.?? Janeryd was silent for almost a minute.?? Blomkvist said..00 tonight you have to report for duty. ??Within these four walls. ??Should I go now or should I wait for you??? ??Would it be O. I??m here on a work issue. for example when we need to arrange a telephone tap or enter an apartment. ??We had a little problem at Millennium while you were away Blomkvisting in G?teborg.?? he said.

But I do know that no psychiatric evaluations have been done. ??Idris lives in Angered. and fell asleep with photographs of gross child pornography whirling through his mind. Erika. He could not identify any one of them.?? ??You have my word.?? ??Thirty seconds ago you did get an email from me. And the paedophile industry. for one. Whore. ??Forgive me for pointing this out. He was gasping as if he had just run a marathon. This was largely due to the fact that no-one was quite sure who or what should be investigated. which decided that Salander should be cared for at St Stefan??s. That??s when normal rules no longer apply. getting his bearings. And this has nothing to do with damage control. But we think that the so-called Section for Special Analysis set up shop somewhere outside. and telecommunications. If it happened while he was trying to escape. a delegate for the Centre in the ??70s and ??80s. A whole bunch of experienced professionals who know how to do their jobs. Why do you ask? Has something happened??? ??No. no girlfriend.?? ??Tell me.D.?? Berger smiled. or whatever the hell his name was. If we don??t lift all the copies simultaneously.

??Hello! So you??re still here??? and then sailed right in.?? Ekstr?m looked as if he had just swallowed something very sour. She dialled the number and explained where she was and why she had not come home.?? ??What do you mean??? ??It means that I have no legitimate reason to keep you isolated here. he wasn??t. Each mobile has its own unique signature ?C a fingerprint ?C in the form of the telephone number. And I have a strategy.?? She wondered if he were pulling her leg. yes. He inserted an opinion into the headline in the news section. He undertook never to discuss the matter with anyone. That was all Ghidi had to do. Bonuses should be paid to people who do something to strengthen S. He??s actually in worse shape than you are. I??m willing to pay him. then he??d do it. She took another step and pain shot through her entire foot. including several from the family which owns the paper.
