The Girl Who Played with Fire Nils Bjurman, Palmgren's replacement, continues to nurture a growing hatred for his ward after the events of "Dragon Tattoo". His fury has caused him to diminish his practice down to a single client (Salander) and focus his attention on capturing her and destroying the film she made of him raping her. He scrutinizes Salander's medical records, and thus identifies an incident named "All the Evil" as well as a person from her past as his strongest ally. In the meantime, Mikael Blomkvist, the publisher of "Millennium" magazine, has lost contact with Salander, who has refused even to open his letters.
