The man looking for his shadow is the fifth episode of one of the most successful thriller series Millennium
Lisbeth Salander is serving a shorter sentence at Flodberg Women's Prison and tries to avoid conflict with her fellow prisoners. When, however, she defends young Bangladeshi women from a neighboring cell, she is immediately attacked by Benito, the unwritten leader of the prison. Lisbeth visits Holger Palmgren and announces that she has received documents shedding new light on the injustice they have committed to her in childhood.
Lisbeth then asks Mikael Blomkvist to help her search. The tracks lead them to a certain Le Mannheimmer, partner of the brokerage company Alfred Ogren. How is the past of a wealthy young man from the financial circles intertwined with the past of Lisbeth Salander? And can Lisbeth face the escalating threats of Benita and her gang?
David Lagercrantz weaves a thrilling story about abuse of power, honor issues, and the shadows of Lisbeth's childhood, which still haunts her.
