Millennium: The Girl Who Played With Fire

The second of the Stieg Larsson Millennium mysteries, The Girl Who Played with Fire, gets its own comic book from Hard Case Crime and Titan Comics. For those not familiar with the follow up to the blockbuster The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, our story picks up several months after those events. Mikael Blomkvist is a national hero and back at the perch of his beloved Millennium magazine, and Lisbeth is off . . . doing whatever it is Lisbeth does (mostly avenging those who have wronged her in very violent ways).

The magazine dives into a new investigative story around sex trafficking involving some very high profile Swedish personalities, famous people, some connected to Lisbeth, who desperately want this story not to see the light of day. When Lisbeth crosses paths with the murderer of the sources of this story, Blomkvist not only rediscovers his old friend/part time lover, but discovers she's in very much over her head and in need of his help.
