Publisher’s Description
Murder mystery, family saga, love story, and financial intrigue combine into one satisfyingly complex and entertainingly atmospheric novel, the first in Stieg Larsson’s thrilling Millenium series featuring Lisbeth Salander.
Harriet Vanger, a scion of one of Sweden’s wealthiest families disappeared over forty years ago. All these years later, her aged uncle continues to seek the truth. He hires Mikael Blomkvist, a crusading journalist recently trapped by a libel conviction, to investigate. He is aided by the pierced and tattooed punk prodigy Lisbeth Salander. Together they tap into a vein of unfathomable iniquity and astonishing corruption.
Quotes from The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
What she had realized was that love was that moment when your heart was about to burst.
Everyone has secrets. It’s just a matter of finding out what they are.
No, I don’t believe in God, but I respect the fact that you do. Everyone has to have something to believe in.
