Mystery within mystery. Journalist Blomkvist, recently discredited in a libel suit, is hired by a industrialist to solve the forty year old disappearance of his niece. Fascinating to see the different levels of research and studying he does as he proceeds. Blomkvist is given permission to write a history of the family. But then questions whether the shadows he uncovers should be revealed to the public. The second mystery is ferreting out the truth about the executive who won the initial law suit and how to reveal the truth. As for the tattoo? And Swedish attitudes about sex? You’ll have to read the book. It is a bit of a page turner.
