The killer is alleged to be the toubled hacker genius and Blomkvist's friend, Lisbeth Salander, who he rejects is true. From then on, not only does he have to manage the story of sex trafficking but also contact Salander (even though she tries her best to avoid him) and find evidence to help prove Salander innocent as well as discover her dark past (like the finding of the DVD showing Bjurman raping Salander). In a talk with Salander's former gaurdian, Holger Palgrem, it is revealed that Zala, one of the prominent figures of the sex trade, is in fact Lisbeth's father.
