The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets’ Nest is the explosive final instalment in Stieg Larsson’s internationally acclaimed Millennium Trilogy. Picking up directly from the dramatic conclusion of The Girl Who Played with Fire, the novel follows Lisbeth Salander as she lies critically injured, fighting not only for her life but to clear her name and expose the corruption that has shaped her past.
 
As Salander prepares to stand trial for murder, journalist Mikael Blomkvist uncovers a web of abuse, secrecy, and institutional betrayal embedded deep within Sweden’s security services. What unfolds is a tense legal and investigative thriller that confronts themes of justice, power, misogyny, and moral responsibility. The novel brings Larsson’s fierce social critique to a decisive and emotionally charged conclusion, cementing Lisbeth Salander as one of modern crime fiction’s most original and enduring heroines.
 
Dark, politically charged, and meticulously plotted, this final volume completes the trilogy with courtroom drama, investigative journalism, and a relentless pursuit of truth.
 
This book remains highly collectible as part of a complete Millennium Trilogy set.
