"I want you to find out who in the family murdered Harriet, and who since then has spent almost forty years trying to drive me insane." Henrik Vanger, head of the dynastic Vanger Corporation, is tormented by the loss of a child decades earlier and convinced that a member of his family has committed murder.

Synopsis

Forty years ago, Harriet Vanger disappeared from a family gathering. Her body was never found, yet her uncle is convinced it was murder - and that the killer is a member of his own family. He employs 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.

Customer Reviews

5 out of 5

“You open the book and very soon feel you are actually in Sweden. Stockholm, Hedestad... wherever; the location surrounds you. Blomkvist, Berger, Sallander are all people you would like to meet for any number of reasons but principally because they are interesting. The plot could be regarded as far fetched but is entirely plausible.

Stieg Larsson's untimely death has robbed us of a great talent and hours of first class entertainment.”
