Stieg Larsson’s Millenium series — “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo,” “The Girl Who Played With Fire” and “The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest”are still incredibly popular. Larsson’s continuing story of the computer hacker Lisbeth Salander and the journalist Mikael Blomkvist has sold more than 73 million copies worldwide. The first three books were made into films in 2009, followed by a 2011 English language version of “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo,” starring Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara.The author was reported to be working on the fourth of 10 planned volumes when he died in 2004, and it seems his publisher would like to continue the franchise.
Larsson’s own fourth book is however unlikely to be completed any time soon because of a dispute between his partner, Eva Gabrielsson, and his family. The publisher, Norstedts Forlag, has found another author who is also a journalist and has published several novels and biographies. He’s also co-authored “I Am Zlatan Ibrahimovic” (2011) the autobiography of the Swedish soccer star. The new addition to series is due to be published in August 2015
