La primera novela de Stieg Larsson de su saga Trilogia Millennium. Harriet Vanger desaparecio hace treinta y seis anos en una isla sueca propiedad de su poderosa familia. A pesar del despliegue policial, no se encontro ni rastro de la muchacha. Se escapo? Fue secuestrada? Asesinada? El caso esta cerrado y los detalles olvidados. Pero su tio Henrik Vanger, un empresario retirado, vive obsesionado con resolver el misterio antes de morir. En las paredes de su estudio cuelgan cuarenta y tres flores secas y enmarcadas. Las primeras siete fueron regalos de su sobrina; las otras llegaron puntualmente para su cumpleanos, de forma anonima, desde que Harriet desaparecio. Mikael Blomkvist acepta el extrano encargo de Vanger de retomar la busqueda de su sobrina. Periodista de investigacion y alma de la revista Millennium, dedicada a sacar a la luz los trapos sucios de la politica y las finanzas, Blomkvist esta vigilado y encausado por una querella por difamacion y calumnia presentada por un gran grupo industrial que amenaza con arruinar su carrera y su reputacion. Contara con la colaboracion inesperada de Lisbeth Salander, una peculiar investigadora privada, socialmente inadaptada, tatuada y llena de piercings, y con extraordinarias e insolitas cualidades. Asi empieza esta magnifica novela que es la cronica de los conflictos de una familia, un fascinante fresco del crimen y del castigo, de perversiones sexuales y trampas financieras; un entramado violento y amenazante en el que, no obstante, crecera una tierna y fragil historia de amor entre dos personajes absolutamente inolvidables.
