Stieg Larsson - The Millennium trilogy

Stieg Larsson

Author of the bestselling Millennium trilogy...

Stieg Larsson (1954-2004) was editor of the political magazine Expo from 1999, having previously worked at a major news agency. He was a leading expert on anti-democratic, right-wing extremist organisations - a specialism that reportedly earned him death threats and political enemies.

Larsson's sudden and unexpected death in November 2004 came the year before the publication of his debut crime novel The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. The book is the first entry in his posthumously published Millennium trilogy.

The trilogy continued with The Girl Who Played with Fire and concluded with The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest.

The Scandinavian film adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo premiered in the UK in early 2010 and was swiftly followed by The Girl Who Played With Fire (released the same year) and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest. 2011 sees the release of another adaptation - Hollywood's take on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, helmed by The Social Network director David Fincher and starring Daniel Craig.

Larsson's posthumous success has played its part in breaking the market for other Scandinavian crime writers - with authors such as Jo Nesbo and Henning Mankell now enjoying renewed popularity among a much larger, global readership.
