About This Book
Product Description
An international publishing sensation, Stieg Larsson's The Girl with
the Dragon Tattoo combines murder mystery, family saga, love story, and
financial intrigue into one satisfyingly complex and entertainingly
atmospheric novel.
Harriet Vanger, a scion of one of Sweden's wealthiest families
disappeared over forty years ago. All these years later, her aged uncle
continues to seek the truth. He hires Mikael Blomkvist, a crusading
journalist recently trapped by a libel conviction, to investigate. He is
aided by the pierced and tattooed punk prodigy Lisbeth Salander.
Together they tap into a vein of unfathomable iniquity and astonishing
corruption.

delivering the manuscript for this and two subsequent novels.
Reviews
An intelligent, ingeniously plotted, utterly engrossing thriller
that is variously a serial-killer saga, a search for a missing person
and an informed glimpse into the worlds of journalism and business . . .
Lisbeth is a punk Watson to Mikael's dapper Holmes, and she's the
coolest crime-fighting sidekick to come along in many years."
--Washington Post
"An exceptional effort for a first-time crime novelist. In fact, a fine
effort for any crime novelist . . . This book is meticulously plotted,
beautifully paced, and features a cast of two indelible sleuths and many
juicy suspects."
--Boston Globe
"Combine the chilly Swedish backdrop and moody psychodrama of a Bergman
movie with the grisly pyrotechnics of a serial-killer thriller, then add
an angry punk heroine and a down-on-his-luck investigative journalist,
and you have the ingredients of Stieg Larssons first novel."
--Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
"The book lands in the United States as Wall Street sputters and global
markets clench, a timely fit to Larssons themes of corporate
corruption. He tells his crime story cleverly, but the zing in Dragon
Tattoo is inked in its two central characters."
--Cleveland Plain Dealer
"A super-smart amalgam of the corporate corruption tale, legal thriller
and dysfunctional-family psychological suspense story. Its witty and
unflinching . . . Larssons multi-pieced plot snaps together as neatly
as an Ikea bookcase, but even more satisfying is the anti-social
character of Salander."
--Maureen Corrigan, Fresh Air (NPR)
