Eva Gabrielsson: “’There Are Things I Want You to Know’ About Stieg Larsson and Me”
Seven years ago, Swedish journalist and author Stieg Larsson suffered a heart attack. He died without ever knowing the success of his Millennium trilogy. The books – "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, "The Girl Who Played With Fire" and "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest" - have sold more than 45 million copies worldwide. Larsson’s longtime partner, Eva Gabrielsson, says the books could not have been written without her, and she’s now locked in a bitter dispute with the author's family. They disagree on the rights and income from the books, and the publication of a possible fourth book. Gabrielsson has written a new memoir in which she details her version of the story. The book is called "’There Are Things I Want You to Know’ About Stieg Larsson and Me."
