Els homes que no estimaven les dones

Synopsis of Els homes que no estimaven les dones

Harriet Vanger disappeared thirty-six years ago on a Swedish island owned by her powerful family. Despite the police deployment, no trace of the girl was found. Did she escape? Was she kidnapped? Murdered? The case is closed and the details forgotten. But her uncle Henrik Vanger, a retired businessman, is obsessed with solving the mystery before he dies. Mikael Blomkvist accepts Vanger's strange commission to resume the search for his niece. Investigative journalist and soul of the magazine Millennium, dedicated to exposing the dirty rags of politics and finance, Blomkvist is watched and prosecuted by a lawsuit for defamation and slander filed by a large industrial group that threatens to ruin his career and reputation. He will have the unexpected collaboration of Lisbeth Salander, a peculiar private investigator, socially maladjusted, tattooed and full of piercings, and with extraordinary and unusual qualities. Thus begins this magnificent novel that is the chronicle of the conflicts of a family, a fascinating fresco of crime and punishment, of sexual perversions and financial traps; a violent and threatening framework in which, however, a tender and fragile love story will grow between two absolutely unforgettable characters.
