Stieg Larsson
Mikael Blomkvist, crusading journalist and publisher of the magazine Millennium, has decided to run a story that will expose an extensive sex trafficking operation between Eastern Europe and Sweden, implicating well-known and highly placed members of Swedish society, business, and government. But he has no idea just how explosive the story will be until, on the eve of publication, the two investigating reporters are murdered. And even more shocking for Blomkvist: the fingerprints found on the murder weapon belong to Lisbeth Salander--the troubled, wise-beyond-her-years genius hacker who came to his aid in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and who now becomes the focus and fierce heart of The Girl Who Played with Fire. As Blomkvist, alone in his belief in Salander's innocence, plunges into an investigation of the slayings, Salander herself is drawn into a murderous hunt in which she is the prey, and which compels her to revisit her dark past in an effort to settle with it once and for all.

"Holy crap, this one was good. AGAIN with the abrupt ending though! lol Good grief, what a rollercoaster ride. I'd like to get to bed because it's late, but my adrenaline and mind are on fire!<br/><br/>I've come to really like Salander....I hear this is the book that features her most prominently....makes me wary of starting the third and last installment because I want to read even more about her - but don't know if I will get that treat again, at least to this extent. <br/><br/>But, geez, I realize that I have to find out what, if anything, happens between her and Blomkvist now that he has returned 'the favor' to Salander. Don't know what I'm talking about?? Get to reading!!!<br/><br/>But wow, this was a page turner. I can count on one hand the books I've read and felt the same about. They don't happen often. Not your genre?? Wasn't mine either.....but REALLY glad I gave it a chance.<br/><br/>Must try to sleep now......next project: to find and rent the movie. I may even watch the original Swedish TGWTDT....."
