This is the second book of the series 'Millennium' by Stieg Larsson.Again a great book, the story starts from where the first book ended.Lisabeth Salander ,the hacker had stolen 2 billion euros from wennerstrom and started the company in the name 'Wasp Enterprise' at Gibraltar.This book is about how Salander finds her father 'Zala' and take revenge on him for his behavior towards her mother and her suffering.The story starts with the killing of Dag and Dia , the journalist and researcher who works on trafficking.The journalist is working for 'Millennium' where Mikel Blomkovist is also working.Blomkovist started digging about the murderer by reading the research papers of them , Salander as usual hack the computers of the journalist and found out research result.
Blomkovist and Salander found out that the mention of the name 'Zala' in many places in that research and started formulating ways to find the truth.Gunnar Bjorck , an Immigration police officer , through blackmail by
Blomkovist gave the report of Salander which was about the incident happened in 1991 where Salander threw petrol and fired her father 'Zala'.Since that document was considered as 'classified', Salander was put into mental rehab institute for more than one year.That report is important since it shows the existence of 'Zala' .Zala was a Russian agent ,who came as a refugee.While the investigation was undergoing Salander was subjected to sexual harassment by her new guardian Advokat Bjurmann , to take revenge on him, she recorded his sexual behavior in the hidden camera, she used the tape to get rid of him.As Bjurman was a well known guy , he never reported anything to police and he devised a plan to murder Salander, so he hired 'Zala's guys to kill her.Bjorck and Bjurmann worked together in the police department earlier in their carrier, they knew each other well .
One has to read this book , the story is fast and thrilling as events unfolds with lots of surprise.I really enjoyed reading this book.I have not described many things in this review, but will elaborate more when i write about the third book of this series ' The Girl who kicked the Horner's Nest'.Already finished reading but need time to write .
Heard: Daniel Craig of James Bond fame will be acting as Mikael Blomkovist in movie version of this series.
