When Stieg Larsson died, the author of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo had been working on a true mystery that out-twisted his Millennium novels: the assassination on February 28, 1986, of Olof Palme, the Swedish prime minister.

Larsson&s archive was forgotten until journalist Jan Stocklassa was given exclusive access to the author&s secret project. In The Man Who Played with Fire, Stocklassa collects the pieces of Larsson&s true-crime puzzle to follow the trail of intrigue, espionage, and conspiracy begun by one of the world&s most famous thriller writers. Together they set out to solve a mystery that no one else could.
