Lisbeth Salander
The edgy, enigmatic personal investigator who tolerates no restrictions placed on her by individuals, society or the law. Adept at computer-hacking, her talents lead her to see secrets that should not be seen, drawing her into the web of intrigue, deceit and danger that surrounds Mikael Blomkqvist. Cold and distant, Lisbeth slowly builds a bond with Mikael but remains a fiercely independent force throughout.
Mikael Blomkvist
The passionate investigative journalist whose attempts to uncover corruption and abuses of power lead him down a dangerous path. Disgraced for publishing apparently libelous claims in his current affairs magazine, Millennium, Blomkvist decamps to a remote part of Sweden, accepting a mysterious offer to find the truth behind a decades-old mystery. Honorable and with an everyman charm, Blomkvist must work to uncover the truth and repair his reputation.
Zala
The shadowy character whose name appears time and time again as Mikael begins to unravel the murders of a young journalist and his girlfriend for threatening to reveal key figures of the sex trafficking industry. Spoken of in fearful, hushed tones by men in high positions of power, and with links to the Swedish secret police, it is apparent that he is a man to reckoned with. What isn't apparent is why he should be pursuing Lisbeth Salander so doggedly.
