A few years ago, some Swedish author named Stieg Larsson got us caught in a very addicting mystery - where a girl with a really complex personality and some double-standard moral ground tangles herself in an investigation with a non-respected journalist.
The Millennium Series was an intense story, describing not only an unexpected rand strange relationship between Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist, but the solving of several crimes related to women abuse and mob issues.
In the end of the third book, the author left us wanting for more (not only for the way it ended but also by dying without finishing the rest of the saga), but now we can discover what happened to the characters after their last adventure because the fourth part of the story is going to be published between summer and fall of this year!!!
David Lagercrantz is the author responsible for continue Larsson's legacy and is safe to say that it has a great weight upon his shoulders, because many fans of the series are eagerly expecting this book! (If you want to know more about him, you can click in his name to go to his Goodreads profile :D)
Also, and to add some spice into the matter, Lagercrantz has to deal with Eva Gabrielsson disapproval of project. Since Gabrielsson ( Larsson's long-term partner) possesses an unfinished manuscript for the next part of the Millennium series, which is not included in the upcoming fourth novel, she refers to Lagercrantz' work as a "completely idiotic choice":
“The worst thing is how saddened Stieg would have been. He never let anyone work on his literary texts. He would have been furious. Who knows, maybe he’ll send a lightning bolt at the book launch,” she said.
Aside from all the drama, The Girl in the Spider's Web is expected to be around us on August 27th, 2015, unless you're in the US, in which case you have to wait until September 1st, 2015 - and for those who, like me, can wait to see what's new to Lisbeth and Blomkvist, here's the plot:
"In this adrenaline-charged thriller, genius-hacker Lisbeth Salander and journalist Mikael Blomkvist face a dangerous new threat and must again join forces.Late one night, Blomkvist receives a phone call from a trusted source claiming to have information vital to the United States. The source has been in contact with a young female super hacker—a hacker resembling someone Blomkvist knows all too well.
The implications are staggering.
Blomkvist, in desperate need of a scoop for Millennium, turns to Lisbeth for help. She, as usual, has her own agenda.
In The Girl in the Spider's Web, the duo who thrilled 80 million readers in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire, and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest meet again in an extraordinary and uniquely of-the-moment thriller."
So, we'll keep waiting to see if The Girl in the Spider's Web fulfill yours and our expectations, in the meantime...
...see you between the pages!
