Book synopsis

The girl with the dragon tattoo is back: Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist return in a continuation of Stieg Larsson's Millennium series.§Written by Swedish novelist and journalist David Lagercrantz, this much anticipated continuation to one of the best-loved crime series of the last decade will be published in Sweden as "Det som inte dödar oss" (What Doesn't Kill You).§David Lagercrantz:§Ever since his ghost-written autobiography of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, I Am Zlatan, became a runaway bestseller in more than 20 countries and won the William Hill Sports Book of the Year, David Lagercrantz has had a steady stream of book offers. But none of them excited him until he was approached to write the continuation of the Millennium Trilogy. This was a commission he could not resist.§His work on the fourth book in the series has been rigorously secretive, writing on a computer with no internet connection, delivering the manuscript to his publishers by hand.§He is very aware - and protective - of Stieg Larsson's legacy. He says: "Stieg Larsson was a master at creating complex stories with a lot of different plotlines and that was something I was determined to live up to ... (His writing style) is down to earth and unaffected. But there is a kind of journalistic authoritativeness about his work. I realised early on how idiotic it would be for me just to imitate him. This is my own prose."§§Stieg's father and brother explained the decision to allow a new book to be written, "to keep alive the characters and the world that Stieg Larsson created. We see it as a way of offering his many readers the continuation they have been longing for. We chose David Lagercrantz because we think he is highly suited to the task. David is a skilled writer who has portrayed odd characters and complex geniuses throughout his career. He will be doing it his own way." Joakim and Erland Larsson.
