The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, by Steig Larsson

Lisbeth Salander is a rebellious young woman who likes to take justice into her own hands...She hates all authority, especially the police, and she has very liberal views on blackmail, embezzling from very bad men, and other juicy and exciting crimes...When she teams up with Mikael Blomkvist, a journalist who has been shunned by the media world and legally persecuted for a crime he did not commit; to solve a possible murder and seek multiple justices for the notoriously wealthy Vanger family, events unfold that will curl your toes and put you on the edge of your seat.

Sex, intrigue, and more importantly, justice, fill up the pages of this brilliant crime and suspense novel, which has already been made into a Swedish film, and which is rumored to have an american version coming out in the end of 2011. The novel was originally called "Men Who Hate Women" (roughly translated from Swedish), and those types of men get exactly what is coming to them in this satisfying and electrifying novel. Anyone who loves mysteries and crime stories will be sucked into this page-turner and bestseller. Also look out for The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest and The Girl Who Played with Fire, both in novel and film format, if you find that you just didn't get enough of Lisbeth and Mikael in the first novel of the trilogy!
