Stieg Larsson

Stieg Larsson (1954-2004) was a Swedish writer and journalist. He was born in Västerbotten in northern Sweden. He grew up in the countryside outside the small community of Norsjö, 100 km north of Umeå.

In the beginning of the 21st century he started writing detective novels at night just for fun. The initial idea for the Millenium-series came from an old joke together with a colleague at TT back in the 1990s.

Prior to his sudden death in a heart attack in November 2004 he finished three detective novels in his trilogy the Millenium-series; "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" (2005, UK release in January 2008), "The Girl Who Played With Fire", (2006, UK release in January 2009) and "Castles in the Sky" (working title) (2007, English title not confirmed, UK release in January 2010).
