Larsson's novel features a cynical, world-weary investigator and a dark, complex mystery reminiscent of Chandler's style and atmosphere.
Both feature a dark, complex investigation into horrific crimes, with a focus on the psychology of both victims and perpetrators, and a strong female protagonist.
McCarthy's stark portrayal of relentless violence and moral decay in a crime narrative resonates with the dark and often brutal themes in Larsson's work.
