Swedish author and journalist (1954–2004), best known for the Millennium trilogy (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and its sequels).

Larsson was a Swedish journalist and author. He died in 2004. His Millennium trilogy was published posthumously (2005–2007). He worked as a journalist and researcher on right-wing extremism and was associated with the magazine Expo.

Reviewers praise Larsson's Millennium novels for gripping plots, careful detail and a standout character in Lisbeth Salander. The books combine procedural investigation with social critique of Sweden and vivid setting. Critics in the reviews recommend the books over the film adaptations.

For:Readers of crime fiction and thrillers, fans of character-driven noir, people interested in contemporary Swedish-set mysteries.

 Above all, the figure of Lisbeth Salander stands out: half-anorexic, psychologically disturbed, asocial, maladjusted, deemed incompetent, rebellious, a hacker and computer pirate, extremely intelligent, a victim of a violent past and present, as well as one of the most fascinating literary characters I have ever encountered.

 Larsson, under the guise of the plot, uses the machete and talks to us about women and his Country, offering us a dark and detailed photograph of a nation in crisis: political and economic, wherein the mistreatment of women reaches not only worrying but dizzying percentages.
