Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy

The phenomenal, critically lauded and bestselling Millennium trilogy by Swedish author Stieg Larsson, has blown open the world of Scandinavian crime fiction. Larsson has brought the genre to readers who would perhaps previously never have picked up any kind of crime novel, and turned existing crime fans onto Nordic writers.

Before his tragic death of a heart attack at the age of 50, Larsson managed to deliver three books that have gripped readers the world over. The trilogy began with The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, which was followed by the The Girl Who Played with Fire, and the opus was concluded with the The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest. All three books are genuinely stunning and if you're yet to experience them we highly recommend that you do so at your first opportunity.
