[Since so many of you have also read Larsson's books, I thought you'd be interested in this story, which sounds like a mystery from one of his own novels. --Annabelle]

Shortly after Stieg Larsson's abrupt death in 2004, a fourth, completed Millennium novel was discovered on his laptop, yet to be published.

Steig Larsson, the Swedish journalist of recent worldwide acclaim for his bestselling Millennium trilogy (comprised of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played With Fire, and The Girl Who Kicked a Hornet’s Nest; together selling more than 24 million copies to date), died in 2004, a year before his first novel was published in Sweden.

His death, so abrupt and mundane (he collapsed of a heart attack after climbing seven flights of stairs; his last words: “I’m only 50 for Christ’s sake.”), and the vicious legal battle to ensue over a now astoundingly lucrative estate, might seem mimetic of one of his novels, tangled as it is by loathsome businessmen and counterclaims and theories of conspiracy, murder (Larsson collected a number of death threats in his career, sparking suspicion over such an unexpected death), and forgery (many believe that, on the basis of Larsson’s journalistic writing, he didn’t have whatever literary skill it may have taken to pen the series).

Thanks Annabelle, we did so enjoy the first 3!

[Irishapples]

I am not one to tell them what to do, but her request does not seem unreasonable.  I tink it would be wonderful if they would publish the fifth book and if someone could finish book four so it could be published. I really enjoyed the first three and want to see the Swedish versions of the movies with English subtitles. A friend saw the first and said it was very well done.

We watched the "Girl Who Played with Fire" a week or so ago.  Enjoyed it a lot but not quite as good as "Tatoo."  It had subtitles as well.

[Candy]

I just finished book 1 and I am not reading 2.   Hopefully someday we will see all 5.

[KarenInTucson]

We have seen the movies (Sweden) and DH says very much like the books!

kind of amazing just to have 3 novels pop out like that... if we ever see more it will just be iciing!  can't imagine being dead at 50... yikes!

note.. head to the healthy living section everyone!
