Rating: 9/10 (30 December 2010)

A troubled young adult, Lisbeth, is hired to find out the dirt on a journalist, Mikael, being sued for criminal libel. Mikael wrote an investigative report about the Wennerström Group's financial plunders and it's relationship to gun running rebels. Mikael is convicted as all of his evidence turns out to be forged and his contacts disappear. Lisbeth finds out that Mikael is telling the truth and has gotten a bum rap. Lisbeth's employer hires Mikael to investigate a 40 year old murder of his niece who he suspects was someone in his family. Lisbeth helps Mikael solve the mystery. The ending is vivid. Lisbeth has planned all along to get Mikael to write a story to cause the collapse of the Wennerström Group so she can empty their accounts. It's brutal revenge. She admired Mikael for his honesty and forthrightness, his boy scout ethics and she wanted to avenge his name and create a new life for herself.
