The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Stieg Larsson is an author whose characters and plots are essential to the modern thriller universe. His book sales worldwide have exceeded 100,000,000 copies. The novel The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has been adapted for the screen twice, and both screen adaptations — the Swedish one and the Hollywood one by the incomparable David Fincher — have become as iconic as the book itself. As has the entire Millennium trilogy, which changed the laws of action-packed literature once and for all. For forty years, the mystery of the disappearance of a young relative has haunted an aging industrial magnate, and now he is making one last attempt in his life — he entrusts the search to journalist Mikael Blomkvist. He takes on a hopeless case more to distract himself from his own troubles, but soon realizes that the problem is even more complex than it seems at first glance. How is the old incident on the island connected with several murders of women that took place in different parts of Sweden over the years? What do the quotes from the Third Book of Moses have to do with it? And who, in the end, attempted to kill Mikael himself when he came too close to solving the mystery? And even less could he have imagined that the investigation would lead him to a living hell in the middle of an idyllically peaceful town. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________“A wildly tense, intelligent thriller with a brilliant plot that completely captivates the reader.” — The Washington Post“A delightful novel, written with incredible passion.” — The Guardian“Unique and spellbinding.
