2009 Anthony Award Nominee for Best Novel
A sensation across Europe—millions of copies
sold
A spellbinding amalgam of murder mystery,
family saga, love story, and financial
intrigue.
It’s about the disappearance forty years
ago of Harriet Vanger, a young scion of one of the
wealthiest families in Sweden . . . and about her
octogenarian uncle, determined to know the truth about
what he believes was her murder.
It’s about Mikael
Blomkvist, a crusading journalist recently at the wrong
end of a libel case, hired to get to the bottom of
Harriet’s disappearance . . . and about Lisbeth Salander,
a twenty-four-year-old pierced and tattooed genius hacker
possessed of the hard-earned wisdom of someone twice her
age—and a terrifying capacity for ruthlessness to go with
it—who assists Blomkvist with the investigation. This
unlikely team discovers a vein of nearly unfathomable
iniquity running through the Vanger family, astonishing
corruption in the highest echelons of Swedish
industrialism—and an unexpected connection between
themselves.
It’s a contagiously exciting,
stunningly intelligent novel about society at its most
hidden, and about the intimate lives of a brilliantly
realized cast of characters, all of them forced to face
the darker aspects of their world and of their own
lives. Translator = Reg Keeland
