Summary
Part blistering espionage thriller, part riveting
police procedural, and part piercing exposé on social
injustice, this second book in the Millennium series is
a masterful, endlessly satisfying novel.
**
Mikael Blomkvist, crusading publisher of the magazine
Millennium, has decided to run a story that will
expose an extensive sex trafficking operation. On the eve of
its publication, the two reporters responsible for the
article are murdered, and the fingerprints found on the
murder weapon belong to his friend, the troubled genius
hacker Lisbeth Salander. Blomkvist, convinced of
Salander’s innocence, plunges into an investigation.
Meanwhile, Salander herself is drawn into a murderous game of
cat and mouse, which forces her to face her dark past.
