Even from a corrupt prison system run largely by the inmates, Salander will stand up for what she believes in, whatever the cost.

Stieg Larsson was a Swedish journalist. He planned to write 10 books in his millennium book series before his death. But he only wrote three novels in his series the first one is The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. which has energy and amazing plotting. Larsson’s weird style was forgiven because it was filled with real chemistry between his two lead roles one is the computer hacker Lisbeth Salander and second is the journalist Mikael Blomkvist. The series made a good fortune and it has been converted into a franchise.

The Girl Who Takes an Eye for an Eye is the second book to be written by the Swedish biographer & novelist David Lagercrantz.

Broken, nonfunctional heroines are mostly common in thrillers. But Larsson’s Salander was a fabulous, surprising character. He was a feminist superhero and an Amazonian queen, a Lolita who fought back. She was forged in the crucible of thrilling events which she experienced as a child. She took the kind of revenge on rapists that most only fancy about, taking on powerful, corrupt men with righteous violence. With Blomkvist, she was the glamorous one of the oddest and most effective and entertaining crime fiction like couples. Blomkvist, the old school social warrior with a penchant for underdogs and a hatred of social hypocrisy, provided a perfect way.
