Introduction

Stieg knew that the books were telling stories that had not been told before. He was used to be hated and hunted by Nazis and rasists. He had been running the war against them for years. He were even paid by Scotland Yard for teaching them about Right Extremists... But this book told the whole world about how high Politic profiles had done things that were more than secret, things that were dangerous to tell.

Stieg knew suddenly that he could not stay in life if these books were printed and sold to the public. 

By the way, wouldn't it be a better best seller if the artist were already dead when the books came out?

Stieg Started to play with the thought of beeing dead, as in "Blair Whitch project". Then he woke up from the thoughts and started to think more practical. How could he fake a death? How could one stay alive after ones death? How much money would it take to die? And then, still be alive? Would he be able to live on the money that the books could generate? Who could he engage in his death? His partner? His friends at work? Is it leagal to protect someone that is faked dead? But alive? Is it a crime to not die that way?

Dead?

Dead?

 

2012, February 'Frederick, don't stay up to late, tomorrow it is monday and we have to bring the kids to daycare'. Vanessa told me to come early to bed... 'Yes, yes, I'll come soon, I just have this last chapter of this book to read, you should get it for yourself in French, it is a very good Triology. The writer is Swedish, Called Stieg Larsson' I was enthusiastic about the book, 23.45 pm. 'Good night'. Sighed Vanessa tired. 'Good night coming soon sweetheart'. I said, totally awake. I sat in my livingroom reading the third book of Stieg Larsson. I was amazed over the whole story, how someone could have the guts to tell stories like this. Others had earlier done some general critic about the society and organisations before. This though I thought, took the price... I read finally the last page... "Lisbeth opens up the door to let Mikael Blomkvist into her apartment as a friend..." I closed the book and thought, what happens now then? I started to think of possible continuation. I opened up my laptop and Google Crome shows up with the search engine asking me to type something... I felt like the hacker Lisbeth, I typed 'Stieg Larsson' and hit the ENTER button. Wickipedia shows a picture of a man with glasses, the man have a nice look, without being very much of anything. He looks almost normal. I started to read about Stiegs life, books and ... Death! "No, no, no.!" I was screaming out loud: "Nooooooo!" I gasped for air and got an attack of anxiety. "Nooooooooo" I screamed repeatedly times. I was in chock, it is not possible. I felt tricked, fooled. I was just finishing a book that was as good as it could be, like when I was young and read the "Club Five" by Enid Blyton. I didn't know if I was angry or more sad. I was both I thought. Angry because I had really been looking forward to read more from this author. Now I got to know, the sorrow fact, that there was no more to get. I started to think that it could not be just that simple. A man that writes that kind of books and just dies... How could it be like that? Very convenient? No? Tell the truth and then die? I thought of what I would have done in Stiegs place... Hm, Tell the truth and run! That is what I would have done. I desided that Stieg was not dead, but that he had escaped. It was only missing some pieces in the story... Where could he have gone? How did he do, and were there anyone that could know something? I thought that Stieg had left his books as a hint for the world to read and try to follow, as Mikael Blomkvist had followed Harriet Vanger's dried flowers she had sent from Australia every year to her uncle... I desided to reread the books, of two reasons, I loved them, and I wanted to read them again to understand the symbols in the books in order to be able to find out where Stieg had gone and how. But before I would start to reread the books I needed to do some research about Stig's real life before his sudden death. I went to the kitchen and made myself a cup of tea. With the tea, hot and steamy, I got seated in front of my laptop again, the tea gave a nice touch of lemon in the room. This time I decided to find ut everything about Stiegs life from birth to death. I opened up youtube, google, facebook, yahoo, twitter and G+... I typed "Stieg Larsson" everywhere. I got hold of some shots from his life, it was not a lot but quite a good idea about Stieg... I read from newspaper articles, Expressen, Dagens Nyheter, Svenska Dagbladet, Wickipedia etc. Stieg Larsons complete name was Erik Stieg-Erland Larsson, Born 1954, 15 of August. He was declared dead in a heart attack the 9th of November 2004. He have a brother that is about 4 years younger (Joachim Larsson). Stieg grew up at his mothers parents until he became 9 years old, and his grandfather died in a heart attack. He got his first typewriter when he was 12, the father Erland had to rent a room in the basement for him to type without disturbing, at that time the typewriter made a sledgehammer noise for each letter one typed, so that was totally understandable. Frederick thought of it as a parallell to Steve Jobs history... He had also started in the garage but maybe 10-15 years later... Stieg had been living with his partner for 30 years, they had not married because of the legal public rules in Sweden that would make the couple more vulnerable if married. This was because of Stiegs work against extreme right groups, his hate against anti democrats. It created him some dangerous enemies. The fact that they were not married made the brother and father of Stieg heritage him. Stieg did not have any known children and his own mother had died in a heart attack almost at the same age of 56 years, same as Stieg, and the mothers father. Stieg became a graphic designer as his father. This was very interesting thing, because Stieg did not make it to the journalist University in Sweden because of his very bad language level. There was also eye witnesses that said that Stieg him self could not have written the Millenium on his own. He was not capable of writing that good. Others also critic Stiegs language in the Millennium books, saying it is not really that good. I started to write a list of all the characters in the books, it became long, especially since I also wrote down all the different connections they had in the books and also my thoughts of connections in the real world, that would be hypothetic connections with real personalities. I started with the most important persons and went to less important. When I got to Dragan Armanski I thought, Hm Milton sequirity? Dragan Joksovic the jugoslavian hit man that lived in Stockholm in the nineties and got killed 1998? Bert Miltons Porno Enterprice and Millennium? Millennium is the name of many things, but there are an adult movie serie made in Sweden named Milennium. Bert Milton was responsable for that production under his company "Milton media Group" that owned the brand: PRIVATE, Dragan was responsable of the security of Bert Miltons Strip Club in the nineties. And Elin Wennerstrom had been acting in films made by Bert Miltons film company, as an adult movie actress. I decided to let it go, Stieg could be dead if he wanted to, or if he really was dead, it didn't make much different right now. Dead or not, there wouldn't be more books about Lisbeth, that was sure. That night as many before I got in bed long after my family were in deep sleep.
