Mikael Blomkvist,editor-in-chief of Millennium, does not believe the police.Using all his magazine staff and resources to prove Salander's innocence,Blomkvist also uncovers her terrible past,spent in criminally corrupt institutions.  Yet Salander is more avenging angel than helpless victim.She may be an expert at staying out of sight - but she has ways of tracking down her most elusive enemies.
