The first volume in Stieg Larsson's phenomenal Millennium Trilogy, with combined sales of over 55 million worldwide

Forty years ago, Harriet Vanger disappeared from a family gathering on the island owned and inhabited by the powerful Vanger clan. Her body was never found, yet her uncle is convinced it was murder – and that the killer is a member of his own tightly knit but dysfunctional family. He employs disgraced financial journalist Mikael Blomkvist and the tattooed, truculent computer hacker Lisbeth Salander to investigate. When the pair link Harriet's disappearance to a number of grotesque murders from forty years ago, they begin to unravel a dark and appalling family history. But the Vangers are a secretive clan, and Blomkvist and Salander are about to find out just how far they are prepared to go to protect themselves.

Stieg Larsson was the editor-in-chief of the magazine Expo. He was a leading expert on anti-democratic, right-wing extremist organisations. He died in 2004, soon after delivering the text of the novels that make up the Millennium Trilogy.

Stieg And Me

The poignant, personal story of their life together by Steig Larsson's partner, Eva Gabrielsson.

There is only one person who can tell the real Steig Larsson story, and that is his lifelong companion Eva Gabrielsson. This is her book. The keys to the 'Stieg Larsson phenomenon' all lie with Stieg Larsson, the man, and no one knew him like Eva. Here she tells the story of their 30-year romance, of Stieg's life-long struggle to expose Sweden's Neo-Nazis, of his fight to keep the magazine he founded, Expo, alive and his difficult relationships with his immediate family. She talks of the genesis of the Millennium trilogy, the sources for characters and places in each book, the mystery of the fourth volume and the saga of Larsson's death and his legacy. Poignant in its account of two soulmates and the life they shared, this is a story told with candour and dignity. It reflects a deep insight into a man everyone wants to know better, about whom so little is known.

Now hunted by the entire Swedish police force and officially branded a danger to society, she is forced to go undercover. But how can she prove her innocence? With her computer-hacking skills she is anything but the helpless victim.

With the help of journalist Mikael Blomkvist from Millennium Magazine, Salander must not only prove her innocence, but identify and denounce the corrupt politicians that have allowed the vulnerable to become victims of abuse and violence. Once a victim herself, Salander is ready to fight back.

The Man Who Left Too Soon: The Biography of Stieg Larsson

His best-selling books are violent, terrifying, brilliantly written and have sold millions of copies around the world, but Stieg Larsson was not there to witness any of their international success. That he died in 2004 and his fame as an author is entirely posthumous demonstrates the dizzying speed with which his star has risen. But when one looks a little deeper at the man behind these phenomenal novels, it is clear that his life would be remembered as truly extraordinary, even if his Millennium trilogy had never been published.

Larsson was a workaholic: a keen political activist, photographer, graphic designer, a respected journalist and editor of numerous science fiction magazines...and at night, to relax after work, he wrote crime novels. As the world now knows, by the time of his death at just 50 years of age he had completed The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, the third book featuring his hypnotic character, Lisbeth Salander. But his relentless personality and political convictions did not make his life easy. He famously reported about some dangerous neo-Nazi organisations in Sweden, which led to numerous death threats. In fact, since his death, officially caused by a massive heart attack, there had been much speculation that his enemies had a hand in his premature demise.

Stieg Larsson, My Friend

Five years after his death, Stieg Larsson is best known as the author of the Millennium Trilogy, but during his career as a journalist he was a crucial protagonist in the battle against racism and for democracy in Sweden, and one of the founders of the anti-fascist magazine Expo. In this candid and rounded memoir, Baksi answers the questions a multitude of Larsson's fans are asking: about his upbringing; the recurring death threats; his insomnia and his vices; his feminism so evident in his books and his dogmatism. What was he like as a colleague? And who provided the inspiration for his now-immortal characters? Who was Lisbeth Salander?

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

Part 1 of Stieg Larsson’s Millennium Trilogy

When the pair link Harriet’s disappearance to a number of grotesque murders from almost forty years ago, they begin to unravel a dark and appalling family history. But the Vanger's are a secretive clan, and Blomkvist and Salander are about to find out just how far they are prepared to go to protect themselves.

Millenium #1: Les hommes qui n'aimaient pas les femmes

Ancien rédacteur de Millénium, revue d'investigations sociales et économiques, Mikael Blomkvist est contacté par Henrik Vanger pour relancer une enquête abandonnée depuis quarante ans : la disparition de sa petite nièce.

Secondé par Lisbeth Salander, jeune femme rebelle et perturbée, placée sous contrôle social mais fouineuse hors pair, le journaliste tenace va résoudre l'affaire des fleurs séchées et découvrir ce qu'il faudrait peut-être taire. Enfin, la trilogie culte millénium en livre à écouter ! Après avoir goûté à la lecture d'Emmanuel Dekoninck, vous serez doublement conquis.

Millenium #2: La fille qui rêvait d'un bidon d'essence et d'une allumette

Tandis que Lisbeth Salander coule des journées supposées tranquilles aux Caraïbes, Mikael Blomkvist, réhabilité, victorieux, est prêt à lancer un numéro spécial de Millénium sur un thème brûlant pour des gens haut placés : une sombre histoire de prostituées exportées des pays de l'Est.

Mikael aimerait surtout revoir Lisbeth. Il la retrouve sur son chemin, mais pas vraiment comme prévu : un soir, dans une rue de Stockholm, il la voit échapper de peu à une agression manifestement très planifiée. Enquêter sur des sujets qui fâchent mafieux et politiciens n'est pas ce qu'on souhaite à de jeunes journalistes amoureux de la vie. Deux meurtres se succèdent, les victimes enquêtaient pour Millénium.

Pire que tout, la police et les médias vont bientôt traquer Lisbeth, coupable toute désignée et qu'on a vite fait de qualifier de tueuse en série au passé psychologique lourdement chargé. Mais qui était cette gamine attachée sur un lit, exposée aux caprices d'un maniaque et qui survivait en rêvant d'un bidon d'essence et d'une allumette ?

S'agissait-il d'une des filles des pays de l'Est, y a-t-il une hypothèse plus compliquée encore ? C'est dans cet univers à cent à l'heure que nous embarque Stieg Larsson qui signe avec ce deuxième volume de la trilogie Millénium un thriller au rythme affolant.

Millenium #3: La reine dans le palais des courants d'air

Que les lecteurs des deux premiers tomes de la trilogie Millénium ne lisent pas les lignes qui suivent s'ils préfèrent découvrir par eux-mêmes ce troisième volume d'une série rapidement devenue culte. Le lecteur du deuxième tome l'espérait, son rêve est exaucé : Lisbeth n'est pas morte. Ce n'est cependant pas une raison pour crier victoire : Lisbeth, très mal en point, va rester coincée des semaines à l'hôpital, dans l'incapacité physique de bouger et d'agir. Coincée, elle l'est d'autant plus que pèsent sur elle diverses accusations qui la font placer en isolement par la police. Un ennui de taille : son père, qui la hait et qu'elle a frappé à coups de hache, se trouve dans le même hôpital, un peu en meilleur état qu'elle... Il n'existe, par ailleurs, aucune raison pour que cessent les activités souterraines de quelques renégats de la Säpo, la police de sûreté. Pour rester cachés, ces gens de l'ombre auront sans doute intérêt à éliminer ceux qui les gênent ou qui savent. Côté forces du bien. on peut compter sur Mikael blomkvist, qui, d'une part, aime beaucoup Lisbeth mais ne peut pas la rencontrer, et, d'autre part, commence à concocter un beau scoop sur des secrets d'Etat qui pourraient, par la même occasion, blanchir à jamais Lisbeth. Mikael peut certainement compter sur l'aide d'Armanskij, reste à savoir s'il peut encore faire confiance à Erika Berger, passée maintenant rédactrice en chef d'une publication concurrente.
