''[[The Millennium Trilogy]]'' is a series of books by the late Swedish author Stieg Larsson. It won several awards but it was not meant to be a trilogy, as Larsson [[Author Existence Failure|died]] before the first one was even published <ref>Larsson's girlfriend found parts of two more books on his computer after his death, and it is rumored that he planned as many as ten books with these characters.</ref>. These books were a huge bestseller in their home country, especially because they got international attention. [[Genre Busting|They're crime fiction/psychological thrillers/dark conspiracy stories]].
The first book, ''The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo'' <ref>Swedish title- ''Men Who Hate Women''</ref> (2005) begins with middle-aged reporter Mikael Blomkvist being framed for libel and sentenced to prison. While waiting to serve his term, he is hired by famous industrialist Henrik Vanger to investigate a forty-year-old cold case: the disappearance and presumed murder of his then sixteen-year-old niece, Harriet. Blomkvist's investigation brings him into contact with [[Dark Action Girl|Lisbeth Salander]], an antisocial but brilliant researcher who was secretly hired to investigate Blomkvist. Salander is borderline-crazy, resistant to authority, and violently opposed to any form of abuse against women. She becomes an unlikely aide to Blomkvist as they zero in on the truth behind Harriet's disappearance.
