Nearly four years after leaving Vienna to escape the Nazis, sixteen-year-old Stephie Steiner and her sister, eleven-year-old Nellie, are still living in Sweden, worrying about their parents, striving to succeed in school, and at odds with each other despite their mutual love.

Written by a remarkable family and told through the voice of an iconoclastic mother, Our House Is on Fire is the story of how they fought their problems at home by taking global action. And it is the story of how Greta decided to go on strike from school, igniting a worldwide rebellion.

"When Stieg Larsson died, the author . . . had been working on a true mystery . . .: the assassination on February 28, 1986, of Olof Palme, the Swedish prime minister. It was the first time in history that a head of state had been murdered without a clue who'd done it--and on a Stockholm street at point-blank range. Internationally known for his fictional villains, Larsson was well acquainted with their real-life counterparts and documented extremist activities throughout the world. For years he'd been amassing evidence that linked their terrorist acts to what he called 'one of the most astounding murder cases' he'd ever covered. Larsson's archive was forgotten until journalist Jan Stocklassa was given exclusive access to the author's secret project. In 'The Man Who Played with Fire,' Stocklassa collects the pieces of Larsson's true-crime puzzle to follow the trail of intrigue, espionage, and conspiracy begun by one of the world's most famous thriller writers. Together they set out to solve a mystery that no one else could"--Amazon.
