Mikael Blomkvist - the main character of the saga, is a journalist whose
career hangs in the balance after he was sentenced to three months of prison
for defamation. The one way to save his position is to write an outstanding
journalistic reportage. The access to information is held by Henrik Vanger, who
in exchange for allowing it, tells Blomkvistowi to solve the case of murder of
his niece, Harriet. A genius hacker - Lisbeth Salander helps him unravel the
mystery of 1966.
The whole story of investigation is interwoven with many intrigues,
which take the reader through more than 600 pages of the novel without ever getting
bored. In addition, the rich descriptions of places where the action is set,
especially Stockholm and Hedestad, make it easy for a the reader to refer to
these events in the real world.
Karl Stig-Erland "Stieg" Larsson (15 August 1954 – 9 November 2004) was a
Swedish journalist and writer. He is best known for writing the Millennium
trilogy of crime novels, which were published posthumously, starting in 2005,
after the author died suddenly of a heart attack. The trilogy was adapted as
three motion pictures in Sweden, and one in the U.S. (for the first book only).
The publisher commissioned David Lagercrantz to expand the trilogy into a
longer series, which has six novels as of September 2019. For much of his life,
Larsson lived and worked in Stockholm. His journalistic work covered socialist
politics and he acted as an independent researcher of right-wing extremism.
