The Girl in the Spider's Web: A Lisbeth Salander Novel

When an author passes away, it is fairly common for them to leave behind unfinished manuscripts. In other cases, authors have outlined an entire series of books, but are unable to complete them all. Sometimes called continuation books or series, these twelve tag-teamed projects were all started by one author and finished by another.

This year was not short of standout literary highlights. One of the greatest novels of the twentieth century; To Kill a Mockingbird got "sequelled" with the acclaimed Go Set a Watchman, replete with a less prosaic Atticus Finch. Then, as the year progressed, two acclaimed authors reached out to us from beyond the grave, via their publishing houses. Dr. Seuss added to his body of two acclaimed authors reached out to us from beyond the grave, work when What Pet Should I Get, was unearthed in the office of the late author, complete with illustrations. Then along came The Girl in the Spider's Web, a further addition to the Millennium series which is a rare feat, since the author, Stieg Larsson died of a heart attack in 2004. This "quartet-maker" is very successfully channelled (or dare I say ghost written) by David Largercranz.
