Earlier this year, it was announced Swedish author David Lagercrantz was working on a fourth Millennium novel. Today the title and cover have been revealed:
The plot of The Girl In The Spider's Web is being kept tightly under wraps at this stage, but both Lisbeth Salander and journalist Mikael Blomkvist will feature.

The Girl In The Spider's Web is the fourth in the series, and the first not to be written by Stieg Larsson, who died in 2004, before the original trilogy was published.
The author of the fourth book, David Lagercrantz (pictured), is best known in the UK for his book I Am Zlatan, a biography of Swedish football star Zlatan Ibrahimović
Though sanctioned by the Larsson estate, the book has proved controversial, with Larsson's longtime partner Eva Gabrielsson opposing the release.
Gabrielsson and Larsson were not married when he died. As he died without a will, his estate was divided between his father and brother.
