The Girl Who Played with Fire

In the electrifying follow-up to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Lisbeth Salander, the troubled, wise-beyond-her-years genius hacker, is the focus and fierce heart of the story.

Mikael Blomkviwt - crusading journalist and publisher of the magazine Millennium - has decided to publish a story exposing an extensive sex trafficking , implicating well-known and highly placed members of Swedish society, business, and government.

On the eve of publication, the two reporters responsible for the story are brutally murdered. But perhaps more shocking for Blomkvist, the fingerprints found on the murder weapon belong to Lisbeth Salander.

Now, as Blomkviwt - alone in his belief in her innocence - plunges into his own investigation of the slayings, Salander is drawn into a murderous hunt in which she is the prey, and which compels her to revisit her dark past in an effort to settle with it once and for all.
