More than a decade after the death of Stieg Larsson, a fourth novel in the bestselling Millenium series is about to be published.

The Swedish publisher of the best-selling The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo trilogy has hired an author to write a sequel to the series by the late Stieg Larsson.

DAVID FINCHER has directed some very good crime films during his distinguished career, including Se7en (1995) and Zodiac (2007), but it’s unlikely The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (18s) will feature on a show-reel of his finest moments when the Academy finally gets around to presenting him with a lifetime achievement award.
