The Girl Who Played With Fire by Stieg Larsson

The Girl Who Played With Fire (Millennium #2) by Stieg Larsson, 503 p.

CW: Sexual Assault

"Mikael Blomkvist, crusading publisher of the magazine Millennium, has decided to run a story that will expose an extensive sex trafficking operation. On the eve of its publication, the two reporters responsible for the article are murdered, and the fingerprints found on the murder weapon belong to his friend, the troubled genius hacker Lisbeth Salander. 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."

I took a small break between reading the first book in this series and the second. This series is pretty violent, sometimes graphically. However, it is still a great series that go, go, goes from the first word. The characters still communicate poorly and make bad decisions, but the story drives on, bad guys are caught (or killed), and Lisbeth and Mikael get both farther apart and closer than ever.
