Stieg Larsson - The Secret Files

Now a journalist followed in their footsteps. When the author of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo died, he had been secretly investigating a mystery for years that seemed to have come straight out of his own novels: the murder of Olof Palme, the Swedish prime minister - one of the most enigmatic political assassinations of all time. Ten years after his death, in 2014, journalist Jan Stocklassa discovered Larsson's forgotten archives: 20 boxes containing the world-renowned author's secret project. In this astonishing and absolutely compulsive read, Stocklassa pieces together the crime puzzle and follows the trail of intrigue, espionage, and conspiracy initiated by Larsson, in a story as thrilling as those in the Millennium series. At the same time, Stieg Larsson - The Secret Files reveals the striking parallel between the investigation the writer was conducting and what he wrote and the characters he created in his books, which would sell more than 80 million copies. And suddenly it becomes clear: Stieg Larsson is the real-life Mikael Blomkvist. And on top of all this: the new clues revealed in these pages led the Swedish police to reopen the mysterious case of Olof Palme's murder.
