From the Publisher

"The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a striking novel. Just when I was thinking there wasn't anything new on the horizon, along comes Stieg Larsson with this wonderfully unique story. I was completely absorbed." -Michael Connelly

"I doubt you will read a better book this year." -Val McDermid

Forty years ago, Harriet Vanger disappeared off the secluded island owned and inhabited by the powerful Vanger family. There was no corpse, no witnesses, no evidence. But her uncle, Henrik, is convinced that she was murdered by someone from her own deeply dysfunctional family. Disgraced journalist Mikael Blomkvist is hired to investigate, but he quickly finds himself in over his head. He hires a competent assistant: the gifted and conscience-free computer specialist Lisbeth Salander, and the two 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.

About the Author

Crusading liberal journalist STIEG LARSSON died suddenly, shortly after delivering three novels to a Swedish publisher. Tragically, he never saw the phenomenon his work would become.

    I found it boring and contrived. It needs editing. Because of the endorsement by Ondaatje I was expecting literature, which it ain't. Maybe it's high level within the pulp mystery category.

    Now, here is one thrilling narrative. Very different, very bizarre, very, if I may say so, foreign… When reading translated literature, I often wonder, what was lost in translation? May I mention, throughout this story, I did not wonder. Well written, well translated (it took me a while to realized that the book was not originally written in English) and definitely leaves you to want to read the sequel in this trilogy. Needless to say, the mystery behind the book’s manuscript contributes to… read more

    I read this book all 800 odd pages of it in two sittings. That's how much I enjoyed it. It was well written and exciting. There was something going on at every turn and there were new characters constantly popping up. Usually when a novelist does that the book becomes boring or too complicated to follow. This was not the case in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. It was from start to finish great. Definutely go out and buy this book. For not only will you not be able to put it down but it's a… read more

    A plot full of twists and turns... 5

    I could go on and on about this book, raving about how truly fantastic it was. I have never read anything by Stieg Larsson, however I am so incredibly happy that I chose to pick up this book, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. I have read a variety of books over the past year, however I have to say that this book is one of the best books that I have read in a very long time. Larsson has managed to write a complex novel full of twist and turns touching on some of the most controversial… read more

    This novel was full of intrigue. I was unable to put this book down - a definite page turner. A surprise ending that will keep you guessing...a must-read! Oh, and you just will HAVE to come back for seconds (the second novel).
