Lisbeth Salander decides to get revenge on her enemies—not only the criminal elements that want her dead, but also the government that, a few years ago, nearly destroyed her life. She also needs to escape the hospital where she’s being kept under guard, considered a dangerous psychopath, and to make sure her name disappears from the list of suspects in the murder.
So she can’t do without the help of journalist Mikael Blomkvist. Only his exposé article can shake Swedish society to its foundations and set off alarms in the government and special services. Then Lisbeth will have a chance to leave the past behind and achieve justice.
