Fall of Man in Wilmslow
David Lagercrantz
8 de junio de 1954, plena Guerra Fría. Alan Turing, el matemático visionario, es encontrado muerto en su casa de Wilmslow, Inglaterra. Junto al cuerpo, una manzana a medio morder con evidentes restos de cianuro parece haber sido la causa. La investigación de lo que parece un claro caso de suicidio es encargada al joven inspector de policía Leonard Corell, que muy pronto empieza a albergar dudas en el curso de sus averiguaciones. ¿Por qué motivo la documentación relativa a Turing es altamente confidencial y ha sido clasificada?
¿Tuvo algo que ver su implicación en Enigma, la máquina de su invención que logró descifrar los códigos nazis? Su reciente condena por homosexualidad hizo saltar las alarmas en el seno de los servicios secretos: ¿pudo haber sido chantajeado por espías soviéticos, convirtiéndolo en un agente doble? ¿Podría tratarse de un complot en el que están implicadas las más altas instancias del país?

David Lagercrantz
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.

Blomkvist, in desperate need of a scoop for Millennium, turns to Salander for help. She, as usual, has her own agenda. The secret they are both chasing is at the center of a tangled web of spies, cybercriminals, and governments around the world, and someone is prepared to kill to protect it . . .

The Girl Who Lived Twice (Millennium, #6)
David Lagercrantz
The sixth in the Millennium series featuring THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO
"What will you do now?"
"I shall be the hunter and not the hunted"
The girl with the dragon tattoo is finally ready to confront her nemesis, the only woman who is evidently and in many ways her match. Salander will not wait to be hunted. When she strikes it will be a double blow: vengeance for recent atrocities, and the settling of lifelong scores.
For months now Salander has been closing in on her target. She has moved from Stockholm, her hair is newly styled, her piercings are gone. She could pass for any other businesswoman. But not all businesswomen have a Beretta Cheetah beneath their jacket. They do not wield the lethal power of a hacker's genius. They do not carry scars and tattoos to remind them that they have survived the unsurvivable.
The new episode in David Lagercrantz's acclaimed, internationally bestselling continuation of Stieg Larsson's Dragon Tattoo series is a thrilling ride that scales the heights of Everest and plunges the depths of Russian troll factories. It begins with the discovery of Mikael Blomkvist's number at Millennium magazine in the pocket of an unidentified homeless man who died with the name of a government minister on his lips.
Blomkvist, at extreme risk to himself, tracks down his old friend and will protect her as far as he can. But he is powerless to crush her enemies on his own.
And for Lisbeth Salander, the personal is always political - and deadly.
