Swedish author David Lagercrantz, who is continuing the bestselling crime novels begun by the late Stieg Larsson, promises ‘a lighter, more hardboiled affair’
The new Girl With the Dragon Tattoo novel will be written in the hardboiled style of Raymond Chandler, according to its Swedish author David Lagercrantz.
Lagercrantz published his official follow-up to the late Stieg Larsson’s Millennium novels, The Girl in the Spider’s Web, last summer. Continuing the adventures of hacker Lisbeth Salander and journalist Mikael Blomkvist, made famous in Larsson’s three hit novels The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played With Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest, the fourth book in the series was authorised by Larsson’s father and brother, who run his estate. His long-term partner Eva Gabrielsson, however, made clear her opposition to the extension of the series. Larsson had intended to write 10 books, before he died in 2004.
