THE SECOND INSTALLMENT
FROM THE INTERNATIONAL BEST SELLING MILLENNIUM TRILOGY

Lisbeth Salander is a wanted woman. A researcher and a Millennium journalist about to expose the truth about the sex trade in Sweden are brutally murdered, and Salander’s prints are on the weapon. Her history of unpredictable and vengeful behavior makes her an official danger to society – but no-one can find her anywhere.

Meanwhile, Mikael Blomkvist, editor-in-chief of Millennium, will not believe what he hears on the news. Knowing Salander to be fierce when fearful, he is desperate to get to her before she is cornered and alone. As he fits the pieces of the puzzle together, he comes up against hardened criminals, including the chainsaw-wielding ‘blond giant’ – a fearsomely huge thug who can feel no pain.

Digging deeper, Blomkvist unearths heart-wrenching facts about Salander’s past life. Committed to psychiatric care aged 12, declared legally incompetent at 18, this is a messed-up young woman who is the product of an unjust and corrupt system. Yet Lisbeth is more avenging angel than helpless victim – descending on those that have hurt her with a righteous anger terrifying in its intensity and truly wonderful in its outcome.

"Credit for dramatic grip goes mightily to Noomi Rapace's skill in interpreting Larsson's creation - the 90-pound victim of abuse who combines startling intellectual genius with physical ferocity."
- Jules Brenner, Cinema Signals

"I found THE GIRL WHO PLAYED WITH FIRE even more gripping than DRAGON TATTOO, because this one doesn't just play with thriller conventions - it puts them to work."
- Owen Glieberman, Entertainment Weekly
