Karl Stig-Erland "Stieg" Larsson 15 August 1954 – 9 November 2004) was a Swedish writer, journalist, and far-left activist. He is best known for writing the Millennium trilogy of crime novels, which were published posthumously, starting in 2005, after he died of a sudden heart attack. The trilogy was adapted as three motion pictures in Sweden, and one in the United States (for the first book only). For much of his life, Larsson lived and worked in Stockholm.
He was the second-best-selling fiction author in the world in 2008, owing to the success of the English translation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. The third and final novel in the Millennium trilogy, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest, became the bestselling book in the United States in 2010. By March 2015, his series had sold 80 million copies worldwide.
