Lisbeth Salander, the girl with the dragon tattoo, the brilliant hacker, the volatile seeker of justice for herself and others --- even she has never been able to uncover the most telling facts of her traumatic childhood. When she sees a chance to uncover them once and for all, she enlists the help of Mikael Blomkvist, the editor of the muckraking, investigative journal Millennium. She will let nothing stop her --- not the Islamists she enrages by rescuing a young woman from their brutality; not the prison gang leader who passes a death sentence on her; not the deadly reach of her long-lost twin sister, Camilla; and not the people who will do anything to keep buried knowledge of a sinister pseudoscientific experiment known as The Registry.
