Description
Meet Lisbeth Salander - the iconic character who has captivated 100 million readers worldwide.
As vivid as bloodstains on snow . . . a perfect introduction to the unique strengths of Scandinavian crime fiction - LEE CHILD
Lisbeth Salander gets under the skin of her targets like no-one else. Those who underestimate her live to regret it. If they're lucky . . .
Mikael Blomkvist - disgraced journalist, womanizer - is everything she ought to hate. But when she is hired by a security firm to investigate him, her report on his life reveals an integrity that fascinates her.
Then she discovers that Blomkvist is cracking open the cold case of a missing girl - uncovering secrets that have poisoned a family through generations.
And only one thing gives Salander greater satisfaction than exposing a liar: stopping a killer.
With an introduction by Val McDermid
