The Girl Who Played With Fire – Stieg Larsson (Quercus 2009)

The second book in the cult Millenium Trilogy, and much better than the first (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo).

In the second book, Stieg Larsson’s reputation as a hard-hitting, political journalist comes much more to the fore. This book delves more into the dark recesses of the Swedish establishment, and is a true political crime thriller.
