Could you pleasse update to the "new google maps"? That way we could use the google street view, and actually view where the office is and how it look likes... that would be really great..

And for a later work, put the locations of the cities of the other 2 books, like in Goteborg (what look like the train station, the hotel, the hospital, etc...)

My wife and I will be in Stockholm March 20-22, 2011. We'll try to visit as many of these locations as possible. We'd welcome the chance to tour with others of like mind - or to meet a resident willing to show us around. Unfortunately, we'll miss the Museum tour because we arrive after the Saturday tour.

We too will be in Stockholm in June. If you come up with a tour or tour guide, please let us know. Fellow Lizbeth fans (and Stieg, of course).

With the other locations on the Millenium map, I couldn't find Lisbeth's original apartment on Lundagatan. It's an important location and you should have it on the map

Dear Claire,

my name is Rosalie and im a student on the Erasmus university in Rotterdam (Holland, the Netherlands)

I saw your message on the Stieg Larsson website. I saw you have done or will do the Millenium walking tour in Stockholm.

This year im doing my master thesis about media tourism: the phenomenon of people visiting locations that are related to famous novels, films or TV serials.

I have chose to do my thesis about the experience of tourists who have done this millennium tour.

Is it possible that I could ask you a few questions about your experience of this tour? You can send me an email to: Rosaliehoyer@hotmail.com

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanking you in advance,

Yours sincerely,

Rosalie Hoyer

Before his career as a writer, Stieg Larsson was mostly known for his struggle against racism and right-wing extremism.

In 1995, when 8 persons were killed by neo-Nazis I Sweden, he was the main force behind the founding of the Expo-foundation, a group intended on exposing neo-Nazi activity in Sweden. From 1999 and on, he was appointed chief editor of the magazine Expo.

During the last 15 years of his life, he and his life companion Eva Gabrielsson lived under constant threat from right-wing violence.

The legacy

Controversy surrounding the legacy

Stieg left no written will, and according to Swedish law, Stieg's full estate was inherited by his father and brother. This sparked a dispute between them and Stieg's life companion Eva Gabrielsson, who was left with nothing. The situation is complicated by the fact that Eva controls the script for the 4th book in the Millennium series.
