Lisbeth Salander returns
The late Swedish journalist/author Stieg Larsson was the man behind Lisbeth Salander — the undeniably twisted and talented female protagonist of his “Millennium” trilogy. The second part in the series, The Girl Who Played With Fire, translated from Swedish by Reg Keeland, continues from where the first book left off — asocial heroine Salander once again back to her punch-throwing, expert computer hacking ways that she honed as a former security analyst in Stockholm, spinning yet another edge-of-the-seat crime thriller. Interestingly, Larsson’s father Erland Larsson, while receiving an award for his late son last year, revealed in an interview that the character of Salander seems to have been inspired by his son’s niece Terese, to whom the author had been very close.

The information for recalling the two models was posted during the end of July,” Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) spokesperson Paul Chadderton told PTI from Warwickshire in the UK. The company is recalling the vehicles as these had some safety concerns related to braking system, he added. “Our investigations had identified that oil may migrate into vacuum brake booster from the pump. So, we are fixing these and returning to the customers,” Chadderton said. This the second time in this year that JLR is recalling its products from the global markets.
