The novel begins with a verdict issued against journalist Mikael Blomkvist from Millenium magazine, sentencing him to ninety days in prison for committing a crime of defamation against businessman Hans-Erik Wennerström. Blomkvist had written an article claiming that Wennerström had misused state treasury funds allocated for industrial investment and had made arms deals from Poland. However, this sentence would not be enforced immediately. Meanwhile, the journalist receives a task assigned to him by an old man who wants to know, before he dies, who killed the girl he cared for and who disappeared under mysterious circumstances forty years ago. He had no children and considered her his daughter, and he was very distressed when she disappeared. Thus, the journalist’s work was difficult. He had nothing to uncover the secret except looking at those photos that covered the wall of his house. In the meantime, the journalist moves to a secluded house in a distant village and tries to accomplish what Julius could not do in his research...

She thinks of a plan, enters his house this time, and shocks him with an electric device, causing him to faint. When he wakes up, he finds himself tied up and naked, and here the perpetrator becomes the victim... When Elizabeth joins the journalist and begins to assist him, they progress in their investigations.
