The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Stieg Larsson



Once you start The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, there's no turning back.  this debut thriller--the first in a trilogy from the late Stieg Larsson--is a serious page turner.  Mikael Blomkvist, a once respected financial journalist, watches his professional life rapidly crumble around him.  Prospects appear bleak until an unexpected (and unsettling) offer to resurrect his name is extended by an old-school titan of Swedish industry.  The catch--and there's always a catch--is that Blomvkist must first spend a year researching a mysterious disappearance that has remained unsolved for nearly four decades.  With few other options, he accepts and enlists the help of investigator Lisbeth Salander, a misunderstood genius with a cache of authority issues.  Little is as it seems in Larsson's novel, but there is at least one constant: you really don't want to mess with the girl with the dragon tattoo. --Dave Callanan

Look Again

Lisa Scottoline

When reporter Ellen Gleeson gets a Have You Seen This Child? flyer in the mail, she almost throws it away. But something about it makes her look again, and her heart stops. The child in the photo is identical to her adopted son, Will. Her every instinct tells her to deny the similarity between the boys, because she knows her adoption was lawful. But she's a journalist and won't be able to stop thinking about the photo until she figures out the truth. And she can't shake the question: if Will rightfully belongs to someone else, should she keep him or give him up? She investigates, uncovering clues no one was meant to discover, and when she digs too deep, she risks losing her own life and that of the son she loves. Lisa Scottoline breaks new ground in Look Again, a thriller that's both heart-stopping and heart-breaking, and sure to have new fans and book clubs buzzing.
