R.J. Julia Top 10 Fiction Book of 2009The Swedish author had a heart attack and died after delivering three manuscripts of which this is the second, but what an incredible legacy. The Girl Who Played with Fire is even better than the first, as there is more focus on that most fascinating of characters, Lisbeth Salander. This time around she is accused of murdering two journalists but there is just so much more going on here. Chock full of dangerous, devious characters and riveting plot details. Cannot be put down!

Description
Mikael Blomkvist, crusading journalist and publisher of the magazine "Millennium, " has decided to run a story that will expose an extensive sex trafficking operation between Eastern Europe and Sweden, implicating well-known and highly placed members of Swedish society, business, and government.
But he has no idea just how explosive the story will be until, on the eve of publication, the two investigating reporters are murdered. And even more shocking for Blomkvist: the fingerprints found on the murder weapon belong to Lisbeth Salander--the troubled, wise-beyond-her-years genius hacker who came to his aid in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and who now becomes the focus and fierce heart of The Girl Who Played with Fire.
