He hires Mikael Blomkvist, a crusading journalist recently trapped by a libel conviction, to investigate. He is aided by the pierced and tattooed punk prodigy Lisbeth Salander. Together they tap into a vein of unfathomable iniquity and astonishing corruption. An international publishing sensation, Stieg Larsson’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo combines murder mystery, family saga, love story, and financial intrigue into one satisfyingly complex and entertainingly atmospheric novel.

A real page-turner. I found it difficult to get into at the beginning but once I got past about 50 pages I was addicted. It's a complex story with a compelling mystery and interesting characters. The book is quite detailed which can make it a little difficult to read at times but I still enjoyed every page, despite some of the disturbing yet unfortunately somewhat realistic content. I would definitely recommend this book. I stayed up late several nights and avoided my dissertation as I became engrossed by the story.
