 "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" is a novel by Swedish author and journalist Stieg Larsson. It is the first book in the Millennium series and was published posthumously after Larsson's death in 2004. The novel is a gripping and complex thriller with a mix of mystery, crime, and social commentary. Here's a brief description:

The story revolves around two main characters:

  1. Mikael Blomkvist: A journalist and co-owner of the magazine Millennium. He is a dedicated investigative reporter known for exposing corruption and financial scandals.

  2. Lisbeth Salander: A brilliant and enigmatic computer hacker with a troubled past. She is the "girl" in the title and is known for her exceptional skills in hacking and her no-nonsense, antisocial attitude.

The plot of the book begins with Mikael Blomkvist being hired by a wealthy industrialist, Henrik Vanger, to investigate the decades-old disappearance of Vanger's niece, Harriet. As Mikael delves into the Vanger family's history, he uncovers dark secrets, family rivalries, and a chilling series of unsolved crimes.

Lisbeth Salander becomes involved in the investigation as well, and together with Blomkvist, they form an unlikely partnership to unravel the mystery. The novel explores themes of corporate corruption, sexual violence, and the abuse of power while weaving a gripping and intricate tale of suspense.

"The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" is known for its compelling characters, intricate plot, and its exploration of contemporary social issues. It has been adapted into successful film and television series adaptations, making it a worldwide phenomenon.
