“It
happened every year, was almost a ritual. And this was his eighty-second
birthday. When, as usual, the flower was
delivered, he took off the wrapping paper and then picked up the telephone to
call Detective Superintendent Morell who, when he retired, had moved to Lake
Siljan in Dalarna.”
This
44th flower is the one to finally push old Henrik Vanger to look
into the disappearance of his niece Harriet Vanger all those years ago. To this
end, Henrik acquires the services of Mikael Blomkvist who himself enlists the
help a girl with a dragon tattoo—one Lisbeth Salander.
