The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, by Stieg Larsson
Translated from Swedish by Reg Keeland.
Excellent, just excellent. Try to put this book down. Just try.
Mikael Blomkvist is an investigative financial journalist. At the beginning of the novel he has been convicted of libel, and will be paying a large fine as well as doing prison time.
He is hired by Henrik Vanger, an elderly, retired industrialist, to investigate the unsolved disappearance of his granddaughter Harriet in 1966. (The novel takes place circa 2003.)
As this story unfolds, we are treated to glimpses into the life of Lisbeth Salander, an unusual young woman with a great deal of difficulty in her life, as well as a great deal of talent and skill.
Salander and Blomkvist come together to solve one of the best mysteries I've ever read.
