INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER Lisbeth Salander is back with a vengeance. The series that began with The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo continues as brilliant hacker Lisbeth Salander teams up with journalist Mikael Blomkvist to uncover the secrets of her childhood and to take revenge. Lisbeth Salander--obstinate outsider, volatile seeker of justice for herself and others--seizes on a chance to unearth her mysterious past once and for all. And she will let nothing stop her--not the Islamists she enrages by rescuing a young woman from their brutality; not the prison gang leader who passes a death sentence on her; not the deadly reach of her long-lost twin sister, Camilla; and not the people who will do anything to keep buried knowledge of a sinister pseudoscientific experiment known only as The Registry . Once again, Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist are the fierce heart of a thrilling full-tilt novel that takes on some of the world's most insidious problems.

« Pour bien jouer, il faut être fou. Pour être bon, il faut se sentir en colère. » Né en 1981, d'un père bosniaque obsédé par le passé de son pays et d'une mère croate qui travaille jour et nuit pour sa famille, il n'a que deux ans lorsque ses parents divorcent. S'ensuit une enfance douloureuse dans les quartiers difficiles de Malmo, en Suède, durant laquelle il se sent toujours à l'écart. Dans son premier club, ses origines et son tempérament l'isolent déjà. On essaie même de l'exclure... Mais très rapidement, il est repéré et sa course vers la gloire commence : Malmo FF, Ajax Amsterdam, Juventus de Turin, Inter de Milan, Barca, AC Milan pour enfin signer avec le PSG en juillet 2012.

Buteur de génie, grande gueule, formidable technicien, il suscite des polémiques à chacun de ses passages. S'il est le joueur le plus cher de l'histoire du football tous transferts cumulés, il est le seul footballeur à avoir gagné chaque année le championnat dans lequel il a joué. Son autobiographie est à son image : sincère jusqu'à la provocation, perfectionniste jusqu'à l'excès. Et comme souvent chez les champions qui paraissent invulnérables, les failles existent. De ses souffrances à ses plus grandes fiertés, Zlatan se livre sans concessions.

David Lagercrantz, qui a travaillé avec Zlatan, est aussi romancier et biographe suédois de grande réputation.
