The Girl in the Spider's Web
by David Lagercrantz
I put this book on hold at my library as soon as I completed the last of the Stieg Larsson The Girl books. To be honest I was both intrigued and a bit excited about the possibility of another Lisbeth Salander book by a different author. I first wondered if such a thing had happened before, and was reminded of the unfinished Jane Austen novel finished by another author. I started to read that, but didn't finish and, truth be known I remember neither the title or author. I am sure there were other more successful attempt. I am reminded of the hundreds of Sherlock Holmes stories floating about more or less successfully.
I must say that Mr. Lagercrantz created an excellent mystery involving the main characters from the Larsson trilogy, as well as Lisbeth's fraternal twin sister, who, it seems, inherited all the cunning evil of papa Zalichinco. The story involves international cyber crime, for lack of a better title, the murder of a computer genius and near execution of his autistic son to cover the crime. Lizbeth hacks NSA, which raises quite a ruckus and ultimately decrypts a pilfered file which lays out the details of the 'spiders' web.
All in all, a very compelling read. I can recommend it to anyone who liked The Girl series.
