The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo

Lisbeth Salander gets under the skin of her targets like no one else. Those who underestimate her live to regret it. If they're lucky. Mikael Blomkvist - disgraced journalist, womanizer - is everything she ought to hate. But when she is hired by a security firm to investigate him, her report reveals an integrity that fascinates her. As Blomkvist cracks open the cold case of a missing girl, he uncovers secrets that have poisoned a family for generations. Only one thing gives Salander greater satisfaction than exposing a liar: stopping a killer.

The Girl Who Played with Fire

Lisbeth Salander can be viciously violent. Mikael Blomkvist knows it - and owes his life to it. When a criminologist and a journalist at Millennium magazine are killed on the brink of publishing a brutal exposé of human trafficking, the evidence points to Salander. Her prints are on the murder weapon. Yet Blomkvist knows Lisbeth would never act without reason, and he cannot find one here. The victims were his friends, but so is Salander. Something much more dangerous is surely at play.

The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest

Lisbeth Salander is a threat to national security. Since she was thirteen, shady government forces have conspired to keep her quiet. Prone to violence and deemed mentally disturbed, she has had her freedom removed and her every movement watched. Yet, she is an unstoppable force for justice. With a bullet in her head and wanted for murder, Salander knows that the secrets and corruption at the heart of her country's government go right to the top. And she won't take it lying down.
