Stieg Larsson is best known for the Millennium crime series, beginning with The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. The first novel brings journalist Mikael Blomkvist and hacker Lisbeth Salander together to investigate the decades-old disappearance of Harriet Vanger from a wealthy Swedish family; later books deepen Salander's history while expanding into corruption, violence and abuse within Swedish institutions. The Girl Who Played with Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest continue the same central partnership, mixing investigative journalism, hacking and criminal conspiracy. Larsson's novels are dark, detailed and plot-heavy, with long investigations rather than compact puzzle mysteries. They sit within Scandinavian crime, investigative thrillers and conspiracy fiction, and readers of Jo Nesbø or Henning Mankell may find familiar Nordic settings even though Larsson gives technology and journalism a larger role.
