"Lisbeth Salander is one of the most original and memorable heroines to surface in a crime novel in years." —The New York Times

The hair-raising second installment in Stieg Larsson's international phenomenon, the Millennium Trilogy. Lisbeth Salander is a wanted woman. Two investigative journalists working for the crusading magazine Millennium are brutally murdered on the eve of publishing an explosive expose detailing a massive corporate sex trafficking ring. When Salander’s fingerprints are found on the murder weapon, the police declare her an official danger to society, launching a sensationalized nationwide manhunt.

Meanwhile, Mikael Blomkvist, editor-in-chief of Millennium, refuses to believe the official narrative. Risking his publication and resources to clear her name, Blomkvist plunges into a dark investigation that uncovers an institutional web of systemic corruption, government protection, and horrific violence reaching the highest levels of Swedish society. Convinced she is more avenging angel than helpless victim, Blomkvist matches wits with the system to find her before the authorities do, unlocking a terrifying truth about Lisbeth's past that forces a reckoning with her worst enemies. Part blistering espionage thriller and part sharp social commentary, this masterful crime novel delivers a powerful, non-stop ride.
