About the book

ONE OF TIME MAGAZINE'S 100 BEST MYSTERY AND THRILLER BOOKS OF ALL TIME - #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER - The thrilling first book in the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series featuring Lisbeth Salander: "Combine the chilly Swedish backdrop and moody psychodrama of a Bergman movie with the grisly pyrotechnics of a serial-killer thriller, then add an angry punk heroine and a down-on-his-luck investigative journalist, and you have the ingredients of Stieg Larsson's first novel" (The New York Times). - Also known as the Millennium series

Harriet Vanger, a scion of one of Sweden's wealthiest families disappeared over forty years ago. All these years later, her aged uncle continues to seek the truth. He hires Mikael Blomkvist, a crusading journalist recently trapped by a libel conviction, to investigate. He is aided by the pierced and tattooed punk prodigy Lisbeth Salander. Together they tap into a vein of unfathomable iniquity and astonishing corruption.

    Didn't know what to make of it in the beginning. But now that I'm finished I'm wondering what took me so long to read this.

    Something about Larsson’s writing, and I can’t quite put a finger on it, makes this book absolutely impossible to stop thinking about. It goes beyond being just a detective novel, building a world that’s just as captivating as it’s plot, and characters that are complex and nuanced.
