The answer is 'loads of people'. Search for "stieg larsson" "unique heroine" if you don't believe me. Loads of people are wrong. The very first thing I thought on encountering her was, 'Oh my God! This character is exactly like Kathy Mallory!' My friend Sue thought the same thing. Kathy Mallory appears in a series by Carol O'Connell. I'm not saying they are the best books ever written, but I was completely gripped by the first five, which is the number I have read. Mallory is a great character.
Wait a second. Something's coming through the mist. I think the protagonist in Want to Play? might also be quite similar.
This is a public service announcement.
