I picked up The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, which I hadn't heard much about other than it was translated from Swedish and was good.
It certainly fit the bill - it was odd having all localities being unknown (to me - never been to Sweden) but that didn't in any way detract from the story. It was a nice thriller, turned out to be more extreme than I had anticipated, very serious issues and crimes. However, it certainly wasn't a Stephen King gross-out tingler-type thriller.
I look forward to the other two novels in the trilogy, and taking in the movies on DVD.
