...with the dragon tattoo...who played with fire...who kicked the hornet's nest. read the first, am in the middle of the second, and need to get the third. the books and character's are all incredibly addictive, especially of course lisbeth salander, my favourite. stieg larsson obviously felt the same about the character and must have modelled mikael blomkvist after himself - man in his 40s, editor of a magazine, interest in curbing the far right (and the receiver of death threats for this), and a staunch feminist. apparently he was witness to a horrific rape in his youth, and never forgave himself for not stopping it, with these books being a response to it. cut down in his prime by a heart attack (you can't tell me that his line of work and connections had nothing to do with it), he supposedly has a forth book half-written. we shall see what happens with it...
