The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
Forty years ago, Harriet Vanger disappeared off the secluded island owned
and inhabited by the wealthy Vanger family. There was no corpse, no witnesses,
no evidence. But her uncle Henrik, a powerful industry magnate who doted on
Harriet, is convinced that she was murdered - by one of their own relatives.
Journalist Mikael Blomqvist is hired to investigate. Before long, Mikael
starts to link Harriet's disappearance to a string of gruesome murders.
Enter private investigator and computer hacker Lisbeth Salander - a fierce
young woman with a set of vibrant tattoos and a capacity for cool, remorseless
rage. This unlikely pair delves into the Vanger family's sinister past.
The Vangers are not only feuding and secretive but also violently dysfunctional
And Mikael and Lisbeth are about to discover how far the family is prepared to
go to protect themselves.
The Girl Who Played With Fire
The electrifying follow-up to the phenomenal best seller The Girl with
the Dragon Tattoo ("An intelligent, ingeniously plotted, utterly engrossing
thriller" .The Washington Post), and this time it is Lisbeth Salander,
the troubled, wise-beyond-her-years genius hacker, who is the focus and fierce
heart of the story. Mikael Blomkvist.crusading journalist and publisher of
the magazine Millennium.has decided to publish a story exposing an extensive
sex trafficking operation between Eastern Europe and Sweden, implicating well-
known and highly placed members of Swedish society, business, and government.
On the eve of publication, the two reporters responsible for the story are
brutally murdered. But perhaps more shocking for Blomkvist: the fingerprints
found on the murder weapon belong to Lisbeth Salander. Now, as Blomkvist.alone
in his belief in her innocence.plunges into his own investigation of the
slayings, Salander is drawn into a murderous hunt in which she is the prey,
and which compels her to revisit her dark past in an effort to settle with it
once and for all.
The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest
The exhilarating conclusion to bestseller Larsson's Millennium trilogy (after
The Girl Who Played with Fire) finds Lisbeth Salander, the brilliant computer
hacker who was shot in the head in the final pages of Fire, alive, though
still the prime suspect in three murders in Stockholm. While she convalesces
under armed guard, journalist Mikael Blomkvist works to unravel the decades-
old coverup surrounding the man who shot Salander: her father, Alexander
Zalachenko, a Soviet intelligence defector and longtime secret asset to Sapo,
Sweden's security police. Estranged throughout Fire, Blomkvist and Salander
communicate primarily online, but their lack of physical interaction in no
way diminishes the intensity of their unconventional relationship. Though
Larsson (1954.2004) tends toward narrative excess, his was an undeniably
powerful voice in crime fiction that will be sorely missed.
