Author David Lagercrantz has just finished his Millennium trilogy - a continuation of Stieg Larsson's original series of three books. Now Norstedts, which has published Millennium since the first book came out in 2005, loses its rights, writes Dagens Nyheter.

Earlier this week, Expressen reported that four publishers, including Norwegian hotel magnate Petter Stordalen's Strawberry publishing, have contacted Stieg Larsson's family regarding the rights.

According to publisher Eva Gedin, Norstedts will continue to have the rights to the six Millenium books that have already been published.

The cultural news is looking for Norstedts and Moggliden AB.
