short profile The Millennium Trilogy continuation novels other works works about Stieg Larsson family & friends links

Swedish journalist Stieg Larsson died seven months after he delivered his three mystery novel
manuscripts to his publisher; the books quickly became a posthumous and worldwide sensation.

Stieg Larsson's longtime girlfriend-roommate Eva Gabrielsson was being supported in her travails since Stieg's sudden death thru the website supportEva.com; but after publication of Eva's own book in January 2011, the site no longer requests monetary support; verbal support is very welcome, however.
