THE BESTSELLING GLOBAL PHENOMENON
Meet Lisbeth Salander - the iconic character who has captivated 100 million readers worldwide.
"As vivid as bloodstains on snow . . . a perfect introduction to the unique strengths of
Scandinavian crime fiction"LEE CHILD
Lisbeth Salander gets under the skin of her targets like no-one else. Those who underestimate her live to regret it. If they're lucky . . .
Mikael Blomkvist - disgraced journalist, womanizer - is everything she ought to hate. But when she is hired by a security firm to investigate him, her report on his life reveals an integrity that fascinates her.
Then she discovers that Blomkvist is cracking open the cold case of a missing girl - uncovering secrets that have poisoned a family through generations.
And only one thing gives Salander greater satisfaction than exposing a liar: stopping a killer.
With an introduction by Val McDermid

The mystery bit keeps you interested for most of the book. Gets boring towards the end as the main characters develop into unrealistically near perfect individuals given respective roles; made me apathetic towards them. Won't be getting his other books.

Not my usual type of story but I was after a change. I couldn't have made a better choice in my opinion. Very engaging and highly entertaining. I would recommend it to anyone.

I first read this book in 2008 and was hooked on the trilogy until the very last page, just over a decade later and those same feelings of excitement and anticipation of each word gripped me again. There is no character quite like Lisbeth Salander I have ever encountered and stepping into her world again was fantastic.
