George Goulding Book order (chronological)

Lisbeth Salander is an unstoppable force: sentenced to two months in Flodberga women's prison for saving a young boy's life by any means necessary, Salander refuses to say anything in her own defence. She has more important things on her mind. Mikael Blomkvist makes the long trip to visit every week - and receives a lead to follow for his pains. For him, it looks to be an important exposé for Millennium. For her, it could unlock the facts of her childhood. Even from a corrupt prison system run largely by the inmates, Salander will stand up for what she believes in, whatever the cost. And she will seek the truth that is somehow connected with her childhood memory, of a woman with a blazing birthmark on her neck - that looked as if it had been burned by a dragon's fire ...

A powerful tale of honour, prejudice and the twentieth century's most maltreated hero

The girl with the dragon tattoo is back. Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist have not been in touch for some time. Blomkvist is contacted by renowned scientist Professer Balder. Fearing for his life, but more concerned for his son's well-being, Balder wants to publish his story. But more interesting to Blomkvist is Balder's connection with a certain female superhacker. It seems that Lisbeth Salander, like Balder, is a target of a gang of ruthless cyber criminals which soon bring terror to the streets of Stockholm, to the Millennium team, and to Blomkvist and Salander themselves.
