About this book - Once you start this book there's no turning back. This debut thriller--the first in a trilogy from the late Stieg Larsson--is a serious page-turner rivaling the best of Charlie Huston
and Michael Connelly
. Mikael Blomkvist, a once-respected financial journalist, watches his professional life rapidly crumble around him. Prospects appear bleak until an unexpected (and unsettling) offer to resurrect his name is extended by an old-school titan of Swedish industry. The catch--and there's always a catch--is that Blomkvist must first spend a year researching a mysterious disappearance that has remained unsolved for nearly four decades. With few other options, he accepts and enlists the help of investigator Lisbeth Salander, a misunderstood genius with a cache of authority issues. Little is as it seems in Larsson's novel, but there is at least one constant: you really don't want to mess with the girl with the dragon tattoo.

. Larsson died in Stockholm
at the age of 50 of a massive heart attack. Rumours that his death was in some way suspected of having been induced, because of death threats received as editor of Expo, have been denied.

He wrote them for his own pleasure after returning home from his job in the evening, making no attempt to get them published until shortly before his death.More from Stieg Larsson - The Girl Who Played with Fire
