Editors Note: Heading for bed in a hotel in Austin, TX, I asked the front desk if he had any books and the young man gave me this short read about the life of Stieg Larrson, highly acclaimed author of the Millennium trilogy crime series (“The Girl With/Who”…). It is a brief and fascinating book by Larrson’s business partner about the author who died of a heart attack a month before the first of the books was published. Larrson was an extremist and his books somewhat parallel his life lived obsessively fighting right-wing extremism, anti-Semetism and neo-Nazi organizations in Sweden. If mystery interests you, as it does me, this book is a good read.

Book excerpt: “EXPO (magazine) was founded to study and survey anti-democratic, right-wing extremist and racist tendencies in Swedish society. All activities are idealistic and non-profit making.”
