Blomkvist the Detective

At first Blomkvist was confused as to why Henrik Vanger hired him, a journalist to investigate the death of his beloved niece, Harriet Vanger. Mr. Vanger told Blomkvist that he had done research on him and was pleased with the time of investigative journalist Blomkvist was. It became clear that just like the other detectives that had gotten involved in the case in past, Blomkvist quickly became intrigued with the Vanger family and the missing case of Harriet Vanger. After sorting out the family members, Mikael finds a photograph that turns the investigation into a direction that has not yet been discovered. Henrik is impressed with Mikael's progress in the case and can't believe it every time Blomkvist comes to him with more leads on finding Harriet. Although Blomkvist is talented at cracking into this mystery, Salander is the real key to helping Mikael. Considering her profession is investigating, Lisbeth is a sidekick to Blomkivt's journey.
