En Mikael Blomkvist, periodista i fundador de la prestigiosa revista econòmica sueca Millennium, és acusat i condemnat per difamació pels tribunals d’Estocolm. El seu delicte ha estat fer públiques una sèrie de greus acusacions contra un dels empresaris més importants del país. Abans d’entrar a la presó, però, rep una curiosa trucada: en Henrik Vanger, patriarca d’una altra de les sagues escandinaves més poderoses, li demana que investigui la desaparició quaranta anys enrere de la seva neboda Harriet. Amb l’inestimable ajut de Lisbeth Salander, una jove pertorbadora i socialment inadaptada, carregada de tatuatges i pírcings, i amb memòria fotogràfica i unes habilitats com a hacker insuperables, formarà un tàndem perfecte i junts es veuran arrossegats dins una espiral de secrets i mentides que no s’haurien imaginat mai. Corrupció política, espionatge industrial, intrigues familiars, protagonistes inquietants, amor al límit… tots aquests són només alguns dels ingredients que fan que aquesta apassionant obra hagi estat batejada per mitjans de tot el món com la novella negra de la dècada i que més de quatre milions de persones ja hagin devorat les seves pàgines

Samantha Fultan is pregnant with his child and for one brief, glorious moment all is well throughout the land, but the drums of war will not be silenced. Caiman Mastoc, High King and husband to Audra, Princess of Deutzani, is furious and will stop at nothing to see the Massi and their Toranado allies fall.
