Millennium fan? Turn on your night light. The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest wasn’t Stieg Larsson’s last book. In fact, the Millennium was intended to be more than a trilogy. The Associated Press has reported that Larsson was 120 pages short of completing a 440-page fourth manuscript when he died in November 2004. 

The plot details so far? Typically Larssonesque. A murder on a small island north of Canada, which houses 134 people in all. A postal plane that arrives twice a week and is the island’s only contact with the outside world. The month? September. The release date? That’s this quartet’s greatest mystery.
