Now that that decision's out of the way, Berger and Blomkvist spend the weekend together making love. Blomkvist and Berger meet at the Millennium offices, and Blomkvist convinces Berger to temporarily fire him, so his conviction will have less of a chance of hurting the magazine. In all, Salander paints Blomkvist in a positive light. Erika is married but her husband, artist Greger Beckman, doesn't mind her relationship with Blomkvist. She tells Frode that Blomkvist is divorced with a teen daughter, and that he has a longtime sexual relationship with Erika Berger, editor-in-chief of Millennium. She agrees to investigate Wennerström for Frode. But she still thinks Wennerström is crooked and that Blomkvist was set up.
Salander tells Frode that Blomkvist doesn't seem to be corrupt. Armansky and Salander are meeting with Dirch Frode, who hired Milton to investigate Mikael Blomkvist. Next we meet 24-year-old Lisbeth Salander, private investigator extraordinaire, and her boss at Milton Security, Dragan Armansky. Blomkvist has just been convicted of publishing libelous material about financier Hans-Erik Wennerström and has been sentenced to a hefty fine and three months in prison, which he'll serve some time in 2003. Meet 42-year-old Mikael Blomkvist, a financial journalist, and managing editor of Millennium magazine, devoted to exposing financial corruption. The rest of the novel is divided into four parts plus an Epilogue. After the Prologue, a copy of the Vanger family tree is provided for the readers. But he and the detective can't solve the mystery of who exactly keeps sending them. Henrik gets one of these flowers every year on his birthday. He calls Detective Superintendant Morrell and tells him about the flower. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo's Prologue features an unnamed man (who we soon learn is Henrik Vanger) getting a framed, pressed Australian flower in the mail on his birthday, November 1st.
