About this book

Uniquely placed to explore the worldwide phenomenon of Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy beginning with The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, the book offers the first full-length study of Larsson's work in both its written and filmed forms.

Reviews

'This original volume not only offers highly engaging analysis of Swedish author Stieg Larsson's hugely popular Millennium trilogy, but also of the broader field of Nordic noir that has recently risen to popular and critical prominence in the English-speaking world. It takes a truly interdisciplinary approach to the study of Scandinavian crime fiction, and is a valuable resource for scholars and more casual readers alike.'
