The 4th book
The status of the 4th book
When Stieg started writing the Millennium series, he laid an outline of a total of ten books. Before his death in November 2004, he had finished the first three books and was well underway with the fourth. In an email written to a friend a month before his death, Stieg says that he has finished about half of the fourth book. Stieg says that he has written the beginning and the end, but that the middle part is not finished yet.
Many readers have asked if Eva Gabrielsson, Stieg's life companion, could finish the fourth book, as she was deeply involved in the writing while Stieg was still alive. Eva herself is very positive, however, Swedish jurisdiction obstructs such a solution.
Stieg & Moi
The book "Stieg & Moi", written by Eva Gabrielsson and Marie Francois Colombani comes out the 19 Jan 2011. The Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet has read a rawcopy of the book and can reveal several interesting scoops.
Eva says in the book that she could finish the fourth manuscript but is, as of this moment unable to due to the legal dispute between her and Stieg Larsson's father and brother. The Swedish title of the fourh book is also told, and is said to be "Guds hämd" (english translation: God's revenge).
Aftonbladet has earlier published the news that the fourth book would take place in Canada, about 75 miles (120km) north of Sauchs Harbour on Banks Island. It is also told that the fourth script would mainly focus on Lisbet Salander, and how her personality changes when she starts to deal with her conflicts from the past. Her tattoos are explained and you are told that each and everyone represent a person who has hurt her throughout her life, both mentally and physically.

I finished the first book two days ago. I'm 100 pages into the second. I'm sad that stieg died, he seems to have the same personality/intrest as me. I hope that Ava is able to publish and write the fourth book, so u can read it.
:)

I read the first book and am just finishing the 2nd The Girl Who Played With Fire. I decided to Google Steig and saw that he had died. Well, that runined my day. The books are wild and absolutly fabulous reading as well as life in Sweden so interesting. I will continue to pray that Eva/Marie can resolve problems with family and continue the books Steig dreamed of.
Surely his family must know it was his passion and the work must be finished. Not just the 4th book but the 10 he planned. $$$ may solve the problem. I wish you the best and God speed. Your loss must be huge.
Lisbeth must live on, please.

I don't understand why Swedish law stops Eva from publishing something in her possession, especially if she collaborated on it. Come to the US and hire an intellectual property lawyer, and write the balance of the novel and publish it.

Urs I agree, or come to Canada to write :P I think it's a dumb law

Condolences to Eva.
You deserve the money from the books and films etc. It was 30.... 30!!!.. years that you were together. You deserve to have a say over how it is marketed etc. I wish you well and hope you win the case you have against Stieg's Larsson's father and brother. I also hope you will be able to finish the fourth book and publish it - and we are all waiting it seems. All the best. Common sense must prevail!!!

Why not. It is obvious no man wrote the first book. This is all one big fraud.

Dear folks,I am new to this trilogy with completing the first book and english movie with Rooney Mara in the lead.Larssons character has certainly hooked me as I am startimg the second chapter in this wonderful story.How tragic the author is not here to enjoy the world wide phenomenon.Thank you and sincerely JA from New York.

Watch the Swedish versions of this trilogy, they are far superior to the English version.
- Jim Johnson, 26 January 2012
No they're not. The American version is better.
- Bob McC, 27 January 2012
I think they bouth have their place and they are both well done, they just tell the story from a different angle....The Swedish version deals closer to the book, the American version changes the ending slightly....but both are enjoyable, Although the Swedish version prepares you better for the second book.....
- Marguerite, 27 January 2012
Yes I must say the Swedish version, I believe, is better and links the events together in a more interesting way. There was no need to change the story so much from the book as did the US version.
- Marnie, 29 January 2012
the books are best... and the swedish versions are good. in particular the first film and the last film. but the books tell a deeper story worth every page.
i've heard that Rooney Mara does a great job in her portrayal of Lisbeth Salander.
I cant imagine she could out perform Noomi Rapace.
- x24v, 30 January 2012
I liked the american version very much, but I think the Swedish one is better
- Gaelan, 30 January 2012
I agree with Jim Johnson and Marguerite. In my opinion, Noomi gets closer to the character, she gets closer to the book description.
But, of course, both are worth to see

I am a huge fan of the books as all of you who have posted to this page. so saying that and after seeing what google was able to too with a patition on the internet laws. I say we have our own petition on having the 4th book made. Or even just a " I want to see a 4th book" or "Give her the rights" website where we can relay updates on the issue and talk about the books and how much we want a 4th book idk its just a thought. If you think its a good idea or not please comment on here so i know if i need to start working on it or not.
- Fred Turner, 25 January 2012
I think it would be a great idea. I just finished the second book and can't wait to get my hands on a fourth.
Another petition: Give Eva royalties from all the books. She was Steig's companion, significant other, partner - whatever you want to call it - for more than 30 years. His own parents gave him how many years? Fewer than half the time he spent with Eva. Of course, that would set a precendent in Swedish jurisprudence, but what's fair is fair.
- A Swede in the US, 27 January 2012
I would be very disappointed if the 4th book is not published. I would love to see all of the 10 written!! Books are definitely addictive. I love them!

I had no idea that there could have been a fourth book, I really hope that Eva is able to finish it and publish it. I am nearly finished the third and just havent been able to put any of them down. They are the best books I have ever read and I could literally cry that there could have been 10 of them altogether and that Eva is unable to complete the 4th :(:( devastated.
