"The Girl who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest" by Stieg Larsson
The last part of Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy begins as Lisbeth Salander rests in critical condition in a Swedish hospital, suffering from a classic case of bullet to the head. Even though she may be fighting for her life in a literal sense, once she awakens a whole other battlefield awaits her as she will stand trial for accusations of having committed three homicides.
