Description
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson introduces journalist Mikael Blomkvist and computer hacker Lisbeth Salander, an unlikely pair brought together by a decades-old disappearance. Wealthy industrialist Henrik Vanger hires Blomkvist to investigate what happened to his niece Harriet, who vanished without a trace from the family’s isolated island forty years earlier. Although there is no body, Vanger believes Harriet was murdered by someone within his own deeply dysfunctional family.
As Blomkvist and Salander work through old photographs, family records and a series of disturbing clues, they uncover connections between Harriet’s disappearance and a string of gruesome murders. Their investigation exposes a dark history of violence, corruption and secrets within the Vanger family, while Salander’s formidable hacking and investigative skills prove crucial to uncovering the truth. Set against a cold Swedish landscape and combining murder mystery, family intrigue, financial corruption and psychological suspense, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is the first novel in Larsson’s internationally bestselling Millennium series.
