The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Disgraced journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Daniel Craig) accepts an invitation to surreptitiously investigate a forty year old unsolved murder on behalf of the victim's uncle, Swedish industrialist Henrik Vanger (Christoper Plummer). Meanwhile, tattooed hacker Lisbeth Salander (Rooney Mara), hired to investigate Blomqvist, discovers the truth behind the conspiracy that led to his fall from grace. Thrown together by fate, the unlikely duo uncovers a secret history of murder and sexual abuse festering beneath the veneer of Sweden's industrial past, all the while drawing closer to a quiet evil waiting to engulf them both.

Forty years ago, Harriet Vanger disappeared from a family
gathering on the island owned and inhabited by the powerful
Vanger clan. Her body was never found and her beloved uncle in
convinced she was murdered and that the killer is a member of
his own tightly knit but dysfunctional family. He employes
disgraced investigative journalist Mikael Blomkvist and the
tattooed and troubled yet resourceful computer hacker Lisbeth
Salander (Noomi Rapace) to investigate.
When the pair link Harriet's disappearance to a number of
grotesque murders from almost forty years ago, they begin to
unravel a dark and appalling family history. But the Vanger's
are a secretive clan, and Blomkvist and Salander are about to
find out how far they are prepared to go to protect themselves.
"The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" is one of the decade's great
literary success stories, selling over 8 Million copies
worldwide, while the film adaptation has become the highest
grossing Swedish film in history and Europe's highest grossing
film of 2009.
