A fourth novel in Steig Larrson’s series is to be published in August.
Although it will continue the existing story, this is seemingly not the unfinished draft Larsson left, but a completely new book using the same characters but written by a different author.
So it seems this series will now follow the path taken by the estates of other deceased writers such as Fleming, Christie, Wodehouse, Ludlum, Clancy in basically giving the green light to allow the money spinning ‘brand name’ to continue – for better or worse.

It’s attracted a lot of attention here, as you can imagine.

The writer, David Lagerkrantz, has been chosen with care so it may be at least acceptable. He wrote Zlatan’s biography which has been a best seller here.
Interesting…..
So Larrson’s ‘own’ fourth book is presumably unlikely to appear now ?
