This is the second book by the deceased author Stieg Larsson. It is an excellent story in its own right and I read this one before the first novel in the trilogy. The story does continue from the first book however it can be read on its own and is an excellent crime/thriller novel. The main characters are the publisher and reporter for the Millenium Magazine Mikeal Blomquist and the dysphunctional girl who he worked with in the first book. this is an interesting story which deals with aspects of wedish life and the types of crimes that occur across the world. This one is associted more with Lizabeth Salander's hunt for knowledge and her past and the father she has never known. This books hold the reader captive and I found it very hard to put down at times. I highly recommend it. It is translated from the Swedish and again you would not know from the quality of the writing. I give this a 9 out of 10. I look forward to the concluding novel "The girl who kicked a hornets nest".
