Девушка с татуировкой дракона

For forty years, the mystery of the disappearance of a young relative has haunted the aging industrial magnate, and now he makes the last attempt in his life - he entrusts the search to journalist Mikael Blomkvist. He takes on a hopeless case more in order to escape from his own troubles, but soon realizes: the problem is even more complicated than it seems at first glance.

How is the long-standing incident on the island connected with several murders of women that happened in different years in different parts of Sweden? What does this have to do with quotes from the Third Book of Moses? And who, in the end, attempted the life of Mikael himself when he came too close to the solution? And even more so, he could not imagine that the investigation would lead him to absolute hell in the midst of an idyllically peaceful town.
