The decision to continue the series is not without its critics — but it's also not the first time that a new writer has been brought in to continue a popular series after an author has died. New books by writers with best-selling franchises, like Tom Clancy and Robert Ludlum, often continue long after their deaths.
Sonny Mehta, editor-in-chief and president of Knopf — which publishes the Millennium books in this country — says there's a very good reason to continue the series that Larsson began.
"Lisbeth Salander is one of the heroines, I think, of the 21st century, and a most unlikely heroine. She's brave, she's intrepid, she's unfrightenable, she's got a moral core," he says. "And I hope people will just welcome the return of this extremely unlikely pair of Salander and this crusading journalist."
