Originally a Swedish novel. Thirty six years ago, a girl of 16, had disappeared from a village in Sweden without leaving any trace. Since then her family has tried to search for her several times, but in vain. Police has closed the case long ago. Journalist Mikael Blomkvist is handed over the case as a last hope to find that what really could have happened to Harriet Vanger, at least to find the proof of her probable death.
