[SR: 2885383], Paperback, [EAN: 9781847246455], Quercus, Quercus, Book, Quercus, Quercus, A sensation across Europe—millions of copies soldA spellbinding amalgam of murder mystery, family saga, love story, and financial intrigue.It’s about the disappearance forty years ago of Harriet Vanger, a young scion of one of the wealthiest families in Sweden . . . and about her octogenarian uncle, determined to know the truth about what he believes was her murder.It’s about Mikael Blomkvist, a crusading journalist recently at the wrong end of a libel case, hired to get to the bottom of Harriet’s disappearance . . . and about Lisbeth Salander, a twenty-four-year-old pierced and tattooed genius hacker possessed of the hard-earned wisdom of someone twice her age—and a terrifying capacity for ruthlessness to go with it—who assists Blomkvist with the investigation. This unlikely team discovers a vein of nearly unfathomable iniquity running through the Vanger family, astonishing corruption in the highest echelons of Swedish industrialism—and an unexpected connection between themselves.It’s a contagiously exciting, stunningly intelligent novel about society at its most hidden, and about the intimate lives of a brilliantly realized cast of characters, all of them forced to face the darker aspects of the, Amazon Best of the Month, September 2008: Once you start The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, there's no turning back. This debut thriller--the first in a trilogy from the late Stieg Larsson--is a serious page-turner rivaling the best of Charlie Huston and Michael Connelly. Mikael Blomkvist, a once-respected financial journalist, watches his professional life rapidly crumble around him. Prospects appear bleak until an unexpected (and unsettling) offer to resurrect his name is extended by an old-school titan of Swedish industry. The catch--and there's always a catch--is that Blomkvist must first spend a year researching a mysterious disappearance that has remained unsolved for nearly four decades. With few other options, he accepts and enlists the help of investigator Lisbeth Salander, a misunderstood genius with a cache of authority issues. Little is as it seems in Larsson's novel, but there is at least one constant: you really don't want to mess with the girl with the dragon tattoo. --Dave Callanan, 1000, Subjects, 1, Arts & Photography, 2, Biographies & Memoirs, 3, Business & Investing, 4, Children's Books, 4366, Comics & Graphic Novels, 5, Computers & Internet, 6, Cooking, Food & Wine, 86, Entertainment, 301889, Gay & Lesbian, 10, Health, Mind & Body, 9, History, 48, Home & Garden, 10777, Law, 17, Literature & Fiction, 13996, Medicine, 18, Mystery & Thrillers, 53, Nonfiction, 290060, Outdoors & Nature, 20, Parenting & Families, 173507, Professional & Technical, 21, Reference, 22, Religion & Spirituality, 23, Romance, 75, Science, 25, Science Fiction & Fantasy, 26, Sports, 28, Teens, 27, Travel, 283155, Books<
