The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Check out this book (and movie). It's highly suspenseful with a cumbersome plot packed with surprises. This is the first of Stieg Larsson's murder mystery trilogy, followed by The Girl Who Played with Fire. Book number one centers on a journalist hired to investigate the disappearance of Harriet Vangar, a descendant of one of the wealthiest families in Sweden. The investigation uncovers a line of injustice in the Vangar family and fraudulence in highest tiers of Swedish industrialism. http://www.amazon.com/Girl-Dragon-Tattoo-Vintage/dp/0307454541/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1274457438&sr=1-1
