　　Stieg Larsson died before the overwhelming global success of his "Millennium" novels ---"The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," "The Girl Who Played with Fire," and "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest." But the Swedish journalist-turned-novelist had actually intended that his "Millennium" series would include at least five books, a plan cut short by his death in 2004. In fact, he died before any of his three "Millennium" novels featuring Lisbeth Salander were published.

　　However, Larsson's long-time partner Eva Gabrielsson is locked in an extended dispute with Larsson's family over the rights to his literary(文学的) heritage. For now, fans will have to be satisfied with the few lines about Larsson’s personal life offered by Gabrielsson's autobiography “Millennium, Stieg and Me.” In the 160-page book, which is to be released in the US later this year, Gabrielsson records how she and Larsson met and explored the creation of the famous crime series. She shared her plans to secure the rights to complete Larsson’s fourth novel, saying that she has the draft of the fourth book and can finish it. “Stieg and I often wrote together,” Gabrielsson says. She refuses, however, to share any details about the forthcoming novel, saying only, “It is not my intention to reveal here the plot of the fourth volume…. On the other hand, I want to say that Lisbeth little by little frees herself from her ghosts and her enemies.”
