Final Audit, Thursday, November 27 – Tuesday, December 3
Millennium publishes the special issue devoted to Wennerström. It rocks the Swedish stock exchange. Wennerström committed the biggest fraud in Swedish history.
This time Millennium has evidence to back everything up.
Next, they publish The Mafia Banker, the book Blomkvist wrote at the cabin in Sandham.
They also publish Wennerström's computer in PDF files on Millennium's website.
Authorities link "the Wennerström […] companies […] to the heart of the international mafia" (Epilogue.33).
Authorities hunt Wennerström for six months. Since he took his same laptop with him on the run, Salander knows where he is. But nobody asks her.
It comes as no shock to her when he's found shot dead in an apartment in Marbella, Spain.
See, when she took that money from his accounts, some dangerous guys didn't get paid.
Here's what happened: After the search for Wennerström is called off, she makes a call to a certain lawyer she knows wants to talk to Wennerström. She gives him Wennerström's address in Marbella.
She eats sandwiches while watching news reports of Wennerström's death.
Blomkvist is at Millennium, reading an article in Financial Times.
It says that 260 million dollars were stolen from Wennerström's account by Monica Sholes the day before Millennium published the special issue.
