This novel, translated from the Swedish, has been one of the most highly anticipated crime debuts of 2008.
Much of the hype was fuelled by the death of the author, Stieg Larsson, shortly after he delivered the first three manuscripts to the publisher.
There are two main characters ( a male journalist and a female computer hacker) and the plot concerns itself with a complicated international financial fraud, and the evil past of a wealthy Swedish industrialist. The main characters are, unbeknownst to each other, investigating along parallel paths and soon their two investigations merge.
The book is long (over 500 pages) but the story doesn't flag and you want to keep reading to find out what is going to happen next.
Very enjoyable read.
