The unfinished manuscript left after Larsson’s death in 2004, _That Which Does Not Kill,_ was completed by Swedish journalist and author David Lagercrantz, the _Guardian_ reports. (While the English titles all took the _The Girl Who \_\_\_\_\__ format, the original Swedish titles did not.) The book will reunite readers with troubled computer hacker Lisbeth Salander, the titular character of _The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo_, though the plot has so far been kept under wraps. The entire series has sold more than 80 million copies worldwide and seen multiple film adaptations including one starring Rooney Mara and Daniel Craig. Larrson reportedly had several more novels planned when he died. “What I wanted to make use of in the book was the vast mythology that Stieg Larsson left behind, the world he created,” said Lagercrantz, who told newspaper _Dagens Nyheter_ that he worked closely to recreate Larsson’s writing style. \[[_The Guardian_](http://www.theguardian.com/books/2015/jan/27/sequel-stieg-larsson-girl-with-the-dragon-tattoo-trilogy-out-august "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3685678/stieg-larsson-dragon-tattoo-that-which-does-not-kill/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3685678/stieg-larsson-dragon-tattoo-that-which-does-not-kill/"},"headline":"Sequel to Stieg Larsson's Dragon Tattoo Trilogy Coming in August","datePublished":"2015-01-28T14:42:11.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T03:56:19.736Z","description":"Get ready to reunite with Lisbeth Salander","url":"https://time.com/3685678/stieg-larsson-dragon-tattoo-that-which-does-not-kill/","keywords":["Books"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt717bf05ca91d4784/69877c49524fc01501dec2b9/girl-with-the-dragon-tattoo.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nolan Feeney","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt717bf05ca91d4784/69877c49524fc01501dec2b9/girl-with-the-dragon-tattoo.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"MCDGIWA EC003","caption":"MCDGIWA EC003","creditText":"Columbia Pictures","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/books/","name":"Books"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3685678/stieg-larsson-dragon-tattoo-that-which-does-not-kill/","name":"Sequel to Stieg Larsson's Dragon Tattoo Trilogy Coming in August"}}]}] ```
