The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

The story follows Mikael Blomkvist, a disgraced journalist looking to rebuild his reputation, and Lisbeth Salander, an enigmatic, brilliant, and antisocial computer hacker. They are brought together by Henrik Vanger, a wealthy industrialist who hires them to solve the decades-old disappearance—and suspected murder—of his grand-niece, Harriet, who vanished without a trace from a secluded island.
