Publishers to Bring Out Sequel to Stieg Larsson's 'Dragon Tattoo' Books Given the enduring popularity of the three installments of Stieg Larsson's Millenium series - "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo," "The Girl Who Played With Fire" and "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest" - and reports that Larsson was at work on the fourth of 10 planned volumes when he died in 2004, it's hard to blame his publisher for wanting to continue the franchise. With Larsson's own fourth book unlikely to be completed soon because of a dispute between Larsson's partner, Eva Gabrielsson, and his family, the publisher, Norstedts Forlag, has sought another author to take up Larsson's standard. On Tuesday the publisher said that it has found its man in David Lagercrantz, a journalist and author who has published several novels and biographies, and is the co-author of "I Am Zlatan Ibrahimovic" (2011) the autobiography of a Swedish soccer star. Larsson's unfolding tale of the computer hacker Lisbeth Salander and the journalist Mikael Blomkvist has sold more than 73 million copies worldwide. Film versions of the first three books were produced in 2009, followed by David Fincher's 2011 English language version of "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo," starring Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara. Mr. Lagercrantz's addition to series is scheduled to be published in August 2015.
