Stieg

Whereas most authors might be expected to live lives that seem tame compared to the characters in their novels, the same cannot be said of Stieg Larsson. As a campaigner against fascism in a nation where murder is the favoured tool of neo-Nazi thugs who wish to silence their opponents, he lived in constant fear for his life. In order to produce the definitive biography of one of the true literary giants of the modern era, Jan-Erik Pettersson has interviewed virtually everyone of note.
