Stieg Larsson's family has revealed the late author completed another Millennium title before he died although the book was actually the fifth in the series.
According to the New York Times, Joakim Larsson, the late author's brother, told CBS: "I got an e-mail from Stieg 10 days before he died, where he said that book four is nearly finished. To make it more complicated, this book number four — that’s book number five," he added. "Because he thought that was more fun to write."
Larsson's family told the broadcaster they would not allow the manuscript to be published. Larsson's family is in a legal dispute with Eva Gabrielsson, Larsson's partner.
She claims the Millennium trilogy is not being handled in the way the author would have wanted it to, something the Larsson family deny. She claims to have the fourth book in the series saved on a laptop. However, it is unclear whether this book is the same as the one Joakim Larsson claims to have been sent.
