The Girl Who Played with Fire (Flickan som lekte med elden)

The second part of the film version of Stieg Larsson's world-famous Millennium Trilogy, which has sold more than 30 million copies worldwide.


Having served his prison sentence, crusading journalist Mikael Blomkvist returns to Millennium magazine intent on exposing a billion dollar sex trafficking ring.

When two of his researchers are murdered, Lisbeth Salander's prints are on the weapon and she emerges as the police's chief suspect.  Her history of unpredictable and vengeful behaviour makes her an official danger to society - but no-one can find her.

Unconvinced, Blomkvist uses all his magazine staff and resources to track Salander down and find out the truth.  Blomkvist also uncovers details of her terrible past, spent in criminally corrupt institutions. 

Yet Salander is more avenging angel than helpless victim.  The secretive hacker may be an expert at staying out of sight - but she soon stumbles upon secrets of her own past and has ways of tracking down her most elusive enemies. 

A punk avenging angel with boxing skills, a photographic memory who is pathologically focused on seeking out and punishing violent misogynists, Salander is drawn to the investigation on Blomkvist's computer, whose hard drive she has cloned without his knowledge.

So while Blomkvist and his fellow Millennium idealists research the sex industry according to the rules of good journalism, Salander-spurred on by the appalling case studies of teenage prostitution she finds on Blomkvist's computer-takes matters into her own hands.
