The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Mikael Blomkvist, a journalist facing professional setbacks, is hired to look into the disappearance of Harriet Vanger, the niece of a wealthy industrialist, which happened 40 years earlier on the Vanger family's isolated island estate in Sweden. He teams up with Lisbeth Salander, a skilled but socially withdrawn computer hacker known for her distinctive tattoos and piercings. Together, as they dig deeper into the cold case, they uncover a complex web of corruption and dark secrets within the powerful Vanger family and beyond, challenging their assumptions and putting them in danger.
