Karl Stig-Erland "Stieg" Larsson (15 Aug 1954 – 9 Nov 2004) was a Swedish journalist and writer. He is best known for writing the Millennium trilogy of crime novels, which were published posthumously, starting in 2005, after the author died suddenly of a heart attack soon after delivering the manuscripts of the novels The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and its sequels. The trilogy was adapted as three motion pictures in Sweden, and one in the U.S. (for the first book only). The publisher commissioned David Lagercrantz to expand the trilogy into a longer series, which has six novels as of September 2019. His journalistic work covered socialist politics and he acted as an independent researcher of right-wing extremism.
