At the same time Blomkvist had been suffering through an appalling period as I. Then her I. In its place hung a rope from a hook.

But he did not have access to her room and had never even seen her. Lisbeth Salander.?? Blomkvist said. He landed in the spotlight when he shot dead some hooligan a couple of years ago.??

An Internet search showed that there was hardly any current literature on the subject. ??Then I??ll choose to interpret it that way.
