About the Author

Denise made her comics debut with a 13-issue run of Hellblazer in 2006-2007. Her first graphic novel was the Vertigo Crime title A Sickness In The Family.

Stieg Larsson, who lived in Sweden, was the editor in chief of the magazine EXPO and a leading expert on antidemocratic right-wing extremist and Nazi organizations.

Editorial Reviews

Praise for THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO:

"A whip-smart heroine and a hunky guy who needs her help? This sexy, addictive thriller is everything you never knew you could get from a crime novel."—GLAMOUR

"Unique and fascinating.... It's like a blast of cold, fresh air to read The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo."—CHICAGO TRIBUNE 

"Combine the chilly Swedish backdrop and moody psychodrama of a Bergman movie with the grisly pyrotechnics of a serial-killer thriller, then add an angry punk heroine and a down-on-his-luck investigative journalist, and you have the ingredients of Stieg Larsson's first novel."—THE NEW YORK TIMES

"Wildly suspenseful...an intelligent, ingeniously plotted, utterly engrossing thriller."—THE WASHINGTON POST

“I am beginning to believe that Denise Mina is the finest contemporary exponent of British crime fiction.”—Marcel Berlins, THE TIMES (LONDON)
