The Girl Who Played with Fire, Millennium Series, Book 2 by Stieg Larsson
An electrifying follow-up to the phenomenal bestseller The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, this crime novel is an intelligent and engrossing thriller focusing on Lisbeth Salander, the troubled, wise-beyond-her-years genius hacker.
After she is implicated in the murder of two reporters on the eve of publication of an expose on sex trafficking, crusading journalist and publisher Mikael Blomkvist - alone in his belief in her innocence - plunges into his own investigation of the slayings.
Some of the books' appeal comes from the Swedish setting, but most of it stems from the fascinating relationship Larsson has created between Salander and Blomkvist, "the finest and strangest partnership in crime fiction since Holmes and Watson"...Scotland on Sunday.
Watch for the final Book 3 in the series, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, due out in late May.
Stieg Larsson died in 2004 of a massive heart attack at the age of 50, shortly after delivering the manuscripts for the Millennium trilogy.
