Quote #7
[Martin:] "[…] I'm more of a serial rapist than a serial murderer. […] most of all, I'm a serial kidnapper. The killing is a natural consequence – so to speak – because I have to hide my crime." (24.26)
As Salander discovers in Martin's "death book" (25.8), he basically stalks every woman he encounters and, from all of these, picks the victims who are least likely to be missed.
