What this book is about
In the seventh Millennium novel, Lisbeth Salander travels to the remote northern Swedish community of Gasskas when a fourteen-year-old girl goes missing. What she uncovers goes far beyond one disappearance: a local network of men who have preyed on women and girls for decades, protected by silence and geography. Smirnoff's entry to the series retains the franchise's darkness and moral urgency while bringing a distinctly northern Swedish sensibility to the Salander mythology.
