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.

I really enjoyed Larsson's first book in the series and was happy to find out that my library had finally gotten Book #2. This time around, however, the “mystery” [such as it was:] didn't grab me and I found Lisbeth even more unlikable than before. I was more exhausted than titillated by the overwhelming dossiers on every character's sex life. I pushed on past the section that read like an IKEA catalog, but not much farther. Eventually I just couldn't summon any interest and my stack of books to read is too high to waste time slogging through one that I don't like.
Such a fantastic book! Where to begin. Lisbeth Salander is one extremely intriguing character. Each book I learn more about her and her past, and this book in particular had me thoroughly captivated. I read over 400 pages in one sitting alone. Highly recommend!
Great! Salander and Blomqvist. Great, readable characters.
