Scandinavian crime fiction

Stieg Larsson, who died in 2004 at the age of 50, was a Swedish journalist and writer, best known for writing the Millennium Trilogy of crime novels (The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played With Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest), published after his death. His novels helped create a demand in the US for other Scandinavian crime fiction.
