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
Larsson's sudden and unexpected death in November 2004 came the year before the publication of his debut crime novel The Girl with the Dragon,the first instalment in his posthumously published Millennium trilogy. The Millenium trilogy has now sold in huge quantities around the world and Larsson's success has played a huge part in breaking the market for other Scandinavian crime writers such as Jo Nesbo and Henning Mankell.
