Blomkvist, convinced of Salander's innocence, plunges into an investigation. Meanwhile, Salander herself is drawn into a murderous game of cat and mouse, which forces her to face her dark past. <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> "[A] gripping, stay-up-all-night read."--<i>Entertainment Weekly <p/></i>"Boasts an intricate, puzzle-like story line . . . even as it accelerates toward its startling and violent conclusion."--Michiko Kakutani, <i> The New York Times <p/></i>"Gripping stuff. . . .
