This is the second book in Stieg Larsson's trilogy and this may be the first time I can actually say that the second book is better than the first! There was much less government conspiracy issues in this book. The main characters, Mikael and Lisbeth are back in this book, however they are not together. It begins with the magazine wanting to issue articles about Sweden's sex trafficking business as well as publish a book on the topic in more detail. However, the couple that had been researching the "johns" in the trading were found dead in their apartment. Salander's fingerprints are found on the murder weapon, which is the gun of her sick and twisted guardian, who is also found dead. The police are trying to hunt Lisbeth down, while Blomkvist tries to clear her name and find out what really happened. Throughout the book you find out more about Lisbeth's life and what happened in her youth that has turned her into the unique individual she is. The ending is a shocker and you just can't wait to pick up the next book!
