DAVID LAGERCRANTZ was born in 1962 and is an acclaimed author and journalist. He has written numerous biographies (including the internationally best-selling I Am Zlatan Ibrahimović, for which he was the ghostwriter) and four novels, including Fall of Man in Wilmslow and the #1 best-selling The Girl in the Spider's Web.
“Wonderful . . . It would be hard to imagine a sequel more faithful
to its work of origin than this one. . . . Salander, though,
emerges as the most dramatic, charismatic and effective
investigator of them all: weak in social skills but unmatched in
speaking blunt truth to corrupt power.”
—Tom Nolan, The Wall Street Journal
“Engrossing . . . arresting . . . imbued with a grit and gumption
that would make Larsson proud.”
—Patrick Ryan, USA Today
“The enduring draw at the center of the Millennium series is that
image of a strange and solitary young woman trying to even the
score with all manner of bullies by dint of her brains and, when
called for, some martial arts moves.”
—Maureen Corrigan, The Washington Post
“Like The Girl in the Spider’s Web, this book is a worthy successor
to Larsson’s trilogy. But, The Girl Who Takes an Eye also feels
like a tipping point, in which Lagercrantz begins to march the saga
in a direction all his own.”
—Ed Swedlund, Paste magazine
“Somewhere, beyond the grave in the Great Hereafter, Stieg Larsson
must be smiling. . . . Swedish journalist and author David
Lagercrantz has produced a multilayered and even better thriller
this time around in his second outing continuing Larsson’s
Millennium series, crafting an intricate web of intrigue. . . .
Lagercrantz is a master.”
—Jean Westmoore, The Buffalo News
“Hacker extraordinaire Lisbeth Salander and crusading journalist
Mikael Blomkvist do social good as the thrills accelerate in The
Girl Who Takes an Eye for an Eye. They’re a winning couple.”
—Carlo Wolff, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
“Lagercrantz’s excellent second contribution to Stieg Larsson’s
Millennium series [is a] complicated, fascinating mystery.”
—Publisher’s Weekly (starred review)
“Always satisfying . . . Lisbeth, as always, serves as an avenging
angel who herself isn’t the nicest of people.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“The legacy of Lisbeth Salander lives on. . . . Lagercrantz
succeeds in carefully staying true to the framework created by the
late Stieg Larsson. . . . In this new world where everything is
suspect, including proclaimed facts, it is the dragons that protect
and avenge the downtrodden.”
—Michael Ruzicka, Booklist (starred review)
