Some of the Books of Stieg Larsson:
Stieg Larsson, who lived in Sweden, was the editor in chief of the magazine Expo and a leading expert on antidemocratic right-wing extremist and Nazi organizations. He died in 2004, shortly after delivering the manuscripts for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire, and the third novel in the series.
1-The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Vintage):
National Bestseller
An international publishing sensation, Stieg Larsson's Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
combines murder mystery, family saga, love story, and financial
intrigue into one satisfyingly complex and entertainingly atmospheric
novel.
Harriet Vanger, a scion of one of Sweden's wealthiest
families disappeared over forty years ago. All these years later, her
aged uncle continues to seek the truth. He hires Mikael Blomkvist, a
crusading journalist recently trapped by a libel conviction, to
investigate. He is aided by the pieced and tattooed punk prodigy
Lisbeth Salander. Together they tap into a vein of unfathomable
iniquity and astonishing corruption.
2-The Girl Who Played with Fire:
Mikael Blomkvist, crusading journalist and publisher of the magazine Millennium,
has decided to run a story that will expose an extensive sex
trafficking operation between Eastern Europe and Sweden, implicating
well-known and highly placed members of Swedish society, business, and
government.
But he has no idea just how explosive the story will
be until, on the eve of publication, the two investigating reporters
are murdered. And even more shocking for Blomkvist: the fingerprints
found on the murder weapon belong to Lisbeth Salander—the troubled,
wise-beyond-her-years genius hacker who came to his aid in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and who now becomes the focus and fierce heart of The Girl Who Played with Fire.
As
Blomkvist, alone in his belief in Salander’s innocence, plunges into an
investigation of the slayings, Salander herself is drawn into a
murderous hunt in which she is the prey, and which compels her to
revisit her dark past in an effort to settle with it once and for all.
3-The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest:
Lisbeth Salander—the heart of Larsson’s two previous novels—is under
close supervision in the intensive care unit of a Swedish city
hospital. She’s fighting for her life in more ways than one: when she’s
well enough, she’ll stand trial for three murders. With the help of her
friend, journalist Mikael Blomkvist, she will have to prove her
innocence, and to identify the corrupt politicians who have allowed the
vulnerable, like herself, to suffer abuse. And, on her own, she will
plot her revenge—against the man who tried to kill her and the
government institutions that very nearly destroyed her life.
4-Los hombres que no amaban a las mujeres, Vol. 1 Trilogia Millennium:
La primera novela de Stieg Larsson de su saga Trilogia Millennium.
Harriet Vanger desaparecio hace treinta y seis anos en una isla sueca propiedad de su poderosa familia. A pesar del despliegue policial, no se encontro ni rastro de la muchacha. Se escapo? Fue secuestrada? Asesinada? El caso esta cerrado y los detalles olvidados. Pero su tio Henrik Vanger, un empresario retirado, vive obsesionado con resolver el misterio antes de morir. En las paredes de su estudio cuelgan cuarenta y tres flores secas y enmarcadas. Las primeras siete fueron regalos de su sobrina; las otras llegaron puntualmente para su cumpleanos, de forma anonima, desde que Harriet desaparecio. Mikael Blomkvist acepta el extrano encargo de Vanger de retomar la busqueda de su sobrina. Periodista de investigacion y alma de la revista Millennium, dedicada a sacar a la luz los trapos sucios de la politica y las finanzas, Blomkvist esta vigilado y encausado por una querella por difamacion y calumnia presentada por un gran grupo industrial que amenaza con arruinar su carrera y su reputacion. Contara con la colaboracion inesperada de Lisbeth Salander, una peculiar investigadora privada, socialmente inadaptada, tatuada y llena de piercings, y con extraordinarias e insolitas cualidades. Asi empieza esta magnifica novela que es la cronica de los conflictos de una familia, un fascinante fresco del crimen y del castigo, de perversiones sexuales y trampas financieras; un entramado violento y amenazante en el que, no obstante, crecera una tierna y fragil historia de amor entre dos personajes absolutamente inolvidables.
