The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo book is about a middle-aged journalist who is commissioned by a rich industrialist to uncover the death of a relative 40 years ago. Unbeknownst to the journalist, the industrialist has hired young Lisbeth Salander to investigate his background involving a scandal. Lisbeth is a private investigator with computer hacker skills. They both somehow join forces to solve the murder.
Part mystery and partly a dramatic epic across a cold and unforgiving landscape, the book is a swift read and sucks you into its labyrinth narrative.
