The most popular author you've never heard of

According to an analysis published at Bookseller.com, the third most popular author internationally in 2008 was Swedish writer Stieg Larsson. Though he died in 2004 shortly after delivering the manuscripts for his Millenium trilogy, all three of the books have become international bestsellers. Now the first book in the trilogy, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, is available in the United States. The Washington Post said the book "has been a huge bestseller in Europe and will be one here if readers are looking for an intelligent, ingeniously plotted, utterly engrossing thriller that is variously a serial-killer saga, a search for a missing person and an informed glimpse into the worlds of journalism and business."
