Publisher's Synopsis
Soon to be a major motion picture from Sony Pictures Entertainment. Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist return in this ripped-from-the-headlines, high-octane follow-up to Stieg Larsson's The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest. Mass market movie tie-in edition.
A genius hacker who has always been an outsider. A journalist with a penchant for danger. She is Lisbeth Salander, the girl with the dragon tattoo. He is Mikael Blomkvist, crusading editor of Millennium. One night, Blomkvist receives a call from a source who claims to have been given information vital to the U.S. by a young female hacker. Blomkvist, always on the lookout for a story, reaches out to Salander for help. The duo find themselves working together again--each with their own agenda. Their search for the truth leads them into an underworld of spies, cybercriminals, and government operatives willing to kill to protect their secrets.
