Mikael Blomkvist is a journalist who lost a libel trial against crooked businessman Wennerström. Wealthy Henrik Vanger promises Mikael proof of Wennerström illegal activities in exchange for investigating the disappearance and presumed murder of his grandniece Harriet forty years ago. Mikael moves into a cottage on Vanger family estate on Hedestad Island and starts studying the files collected by Henrik. Most of Henrik's relatives live on the island and were Nazis and Nazi sympathizers during World War II. In a notebook that belonged to Harriet he discovers a list of names and numbers that are Bible references. At least one name matches an old, unsolved murder, and the reference describes the way the victim was killed. Mikael hires Lisbeth Salander, an investigator and computer hacker who researched Mikael before Henrik hired him. Lisbeth is a ward of the State, deemed unable to make social relationships and take care of her finances and who has been abused by the social services employee handling her money. Lisbeth discovers more victims, all with Jewish names, and matches their locations to places in the country where Vanger's company has business places and where Harriett's father Gottfried was present at the time of each murder. One more murder was committed after his death, leading to suspect her brother Martin committed it. Confronting Martin at his house, Mikael is made prisoner and taken to the basement where Martin brags about having committed many more murders while preparing to torture and kill the journalist. Mikael is saved by Lisbeth, Martin flees. Lisbeth chases the man on the road and the latter then dies in a road accident. Mikael and Lisbeth then deduce that Harriet is alive and living in London under the name of her estranged cousin Anita who had helped her flee Sweden. Harriett had killed her father Gottfried who had raped her, but had been seen by Martin who also had used this as leverage to abuse her too. Harriet and Henrik are finally reunited. The proof against Wennerström is however outdated and useless, but Lisbeth has hacked Wennerström's computer and found evidence of money laundering for various criminal syndicates. While Mikael publishes this information, Lisbeth empties Wennerström's offshore bank accounts, leading the fallen businessman to be murdered by his criminal employers.
