“Compelling… Combine the chilly Swedish backdrop and moody psychodrama of a Bergman movie with the grisly pyrotechnics of a serial-killer thriller, then add an angry punk heroine and a down-on-his-luck investigative journalist, and you have the ingredients of Stieg Larsson’s first novel.” The New York Times.

Chapter 2 – Friday, December 20

Michael Blomkvist is being investigating for Milton Security, one of Sweden´s most competent and trusted security firms; who are behind this investigation? Dragan Armansky, the COO of the Company, instructed Lisbeth Salander to do this job. Although nobody seems more out of place in a prestigious security firm than she does, Lisbeth is the best investigator in the place; she has the ability to get under the skin of the person she is investigating. She looks almost girlish, she is pale, short and thin; however, she also looks chillingly threatening, she is a pierced and tattooed punk with attitude problems and with an apparently lack of emotional involvement. Nevertheless, behind her sullen facade there is an unusual intelligence, she is a prodigy. That’s why the job was trusted to her. The investigation was requested by Dirch Frode, a lawyer who wanted to know everything about Blomkvist’s life, finances and moral issues. Lisbeth’s research revealed that Blomkvist was an honest and careful reporter that had been set up in the Wennerstrom’s case. Frode requested a new investigation. This time he wanted Lisbeth to unravel the truth in Wennerstrom affair.

How do you thing the new investigation is going to develop? Make your predictions!
