Stieg Larsson, who lived in Sweden, was the editor in chief of the magazine Expo and a leading expert on antidemocratic, right-wing extremist and Nazi organizations. He died in 2004, shortly after delivering the manuscripts for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire, and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest.
"One of crime fiction's most unforgettable characters."
--People
"A caffeine rush. . . . Larsson was one of those rare writers who
could keep you up until 3 a.m. and then make you want to rush home
the next night to do it again." --Newsweek "Gripping. . . .
Lisbeth Salander . . . is one of the most original characters in a
thriller to come along in a while." --The New York Times
"Anyone who enjoys grounding their imaginations in hundreds . . .
of exciting pages about the way we live now ought to take advantage
of this trilogy." --Chicago Tribune "Exhilarating. . . .
Larsson's was an undeniably powerful voice in crime fiction that
will be sorely missed." --Publishers Weekly "The pages fly.
. . . The pulse quickens." --The Boston Globe "A wild,
careening ride." --The Philadelphia Inquirer
"The action is wham-bam from the start. . . . [with] an eye-popping
surprise ending." --St. Louis Post-Dispatch "Fully lives up

bursts off the page, a vibrant, forcefully 'real'
character." --The Plain Dealer "Enough twists to keep even
the most astute reader guessing." --The Denver Post

old-fashioned, well-paced political thriller with its roots
in Swedish history and a cast of interesting and colorful
characters."--Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "Reading Stieg Larsson
produces a kind of rushr--rather like a strong cup of
coffee." --The New York Times Book Review "Salander herself
is a magnificent creation: a feminist avenging angel."

ending to an outstanding crime trilogy. Larsson deserves every
scrap of his reputation as a master storyteller." --Time Out
