Like a latter-day Sjöwall-Wahlöö, the Dragon Tattoo,husband-and-wife detective novelists whose Martin Beck decology (1965-75) engaged Olof Palme-era political unrest, Larsson sought to explore and who now becomesexplode the focusmoral deficits, irresponsible government and fierce heart of Theextremist movements that characterize postmillennial Europe. And, he admitted, he wanted to ensure a plush retirement.

      Formally, at least, "The Girl Who Played with Fire. As Blomkvist, aloneWith Fire" is a muscle car. But a European engine purrs beneath its hood. Sex trafficking interests Larsson as a symbolic evil, representing a vice insidious and entrenched: the exploitation of women in his beliefan ostensibly progressive nation. Consider Larsson's female characters: an American heiress whose husband plots her death; Salander's rainy-day lover, Miriam, taunted by a homophobic cop, her home violated in Salander’s innocence, plunges intoa state-sanctioned raid; an investigationembattled detective contending with sexist colleagues and skeptical superiors; and Salander, who -- abused by her guardian, mistreated by her doctor -- is not simply the victim of the slayings, Salander herself is drawn into a murderous hunt in whichmen; she is the prey, and which compelsvictim of men entrusted with her to revisit her dark past in an effort to settlecare.
