Publisher Description
Forty years ago, Harriet Vanger disappeared from a family gathering on the island owned and inhabited by the powerful Vanger clan. Her body was never found, yet her uncle is convinced it was murder - and that the killer is a member of his own tightly knit but dysfunctional family.
He employs disgraced financial journalist Mikael Blomkvist and the tattooed, truculent computer hacker Lisbeth Salander to investigate. When the pair link Harriet's disappearance to a number of grotesque murders from forty years ago, they begin to unravel a dark and appalling family history.
But the Vangers are a secretive clan, and Blomkvist and Salander are about to find out just how far they are prepared to go to protect themselves.
Stieg Larsson's phenomenal trilogy is continued in The Girl in the Spider's Web and The Girl Who Takes an Eye for an Eye by David Lagercrantz.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
The shivers come naturally in Stieg Larsson’s hit thriller The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. We’re introduced to Mikael Blomkvist—a talented investigative journalist struggling to keep his magazine, Millennium, afloat—when he stumbles upon a chance at vindication and financial solvency. As he embarks on a twisting, terrifying journey to unravel the mystery behind a young girl’s disappearance, he meets Lisbeth Salander, a freelance investigator and brilliant misfit who’s suffering through her own horrific traumas. Larsson’s co-protagonists are unforgettable. It’s no wonder that the deceased Swedish novelist's hard-hitting tale of depravity, the first book in the Millennium series, became a global bestseller and put Scandinavian noir on the map. The audiobook is no less pulsating, benefitting from taut and considered narration from Saul Reichlin.
