The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson
The first in a trilogy of novels by Swedish writer Stieg Larrsson, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo sees disgraced financial journalist Mikael Blomkvist team up with tattooed computer hacker Lisbeth to investigate the disappearance of a girl 40 years ago.
Set in Sweden, the bestselling novel, which was turned into a film in 2011, starring Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara, is a gripping read with an intriguing plot that combines everything you'd want in a crime novel: murder mystery, family drama and a love story.
