Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In the first chapters of the book, Lisbeth encounters Matilda. Who/What is Matilda?

Answer: A hurricane

Lisbeth is on the island of Grenada when the storm hits. During a heroic rescue on the beach during the storm, she sees a tornado rise up out of the hurricane which she knows should be impossible. We learn later that experts decided to call it a pseudo-tornado, something that looked like a tornado but isn't.
2. Who is with Lisbeth when she saves Geraldine Forbes on the beach?

Answer: George Bland

George Bland is her young lover. Lisbeth goes into the storm to get George to come to the hotel basement when they encounter Richard Forbes attempting to murder his wealthy wife and use the storm as cover. They rescue Geraldine, and Richard Forbes dies in the storm.
3. Who moves into Lisbeth's apartment on Lundagatan?

Answer: Miriam Wu

Mimmi was Lisbeth's sometime lover before Lisbeth disappeared for over a year. Returning to Stockholm, Lisbeth seeks out Mimmi. After their reunion, Lisbeth offers Mimmi the use of her empty apartment free of charge for a year. Unfortunately, this leads to Mimmi getting involved in the hunt for Salandar.
4. Who is Carl-Magnus Lundin?

Answer: The leader of Svavelsjo MC

Lundin heads a very bad gang involved in drugs, prostitution and murder. He is hired to track down Salandar and attempts to kidnap her. After this failed kidnap attempt he surprises Lisbeth at the home of another conspirator and she bests him again.
5. Mikael Blomkvist goes after the man who tries to kidnap Lisbeth. Who rescues Miriam when she is kidnapped?

Answer: Paolo Roberto

Paolo is a friend of Lisbeth's and agrees to watch her old apartment for Mikael to try and talk to Mimmi, so he is there when Mimmi is kidnapped. He is a champion boxer, which almost isn't enough to save them from the unusual man who has Mimmi.
6. Lisbeth is wanted for questioning for three murders that happen over Easter weekend. Who was not killed that weekend?

Answer: Miriam Wu

Dag and Mia are a couple and are killed in their home. Mikael finds them when he stops by to pick up something for the magazine. Lisbeth's prints are found on a gun at the scene; also, a convenience store clerk recalls having sold her cigarettes shortly before the murders and she becomes the prime suspect. Bjurman's body is found several days later by police investigators.
7. What is most unusual about Ronald Niedermann?

Answer: He can not feel pain

Niedermann is very large and strong. He can not feel pain due to a condition known as congenital analgesia. People born from this disorder are often at risk because they do not have the normal warnings for burns, strains, etc. Neidermann's size, strength and inability to feel pain make him very dangerous to those he sees as a threat.
8. Who is Zala?

Answer: All of these

Alexander Zalachenko is a very bad man who has caused death and mayhem over several decades. His name alone frightens many of his past and current associates. He is the father of both Lisbeth and Richard through different mothers. He was originally recruited by the SAPO, the security service of Sweden, in a very secret counter intelligence operation that has been disbanded.
9. Who is the lead investigator in the hunt for Lisbeth Salander?

Answer: Jan Bublanski

Known as "Bubble", a nickname he hates, Bublanski leads a team of Stockholm police investigators aided by Milton Security and occasionally by Mikael Blomkvist. Sonja is a trusted investigator and colleague. Ekstrom is the prosecutor. Bjovck was with SAPO and a handler of Zala's.
10. At the end of the book, who gets shot?

Answer: Lisbeth Salander

Leaving the reader with a cliff hanger, will Lisbeth live? The last few chapters are non stop suspense.
