Stieg Larsson's final novel '70% complete', colleague claims

Kurdo Baksi says he was shown manuscript for sequel to Millennium Trilogy, which would 'make the perfect Hollywood film'
The fourth novel by Stieg Larsson, author of the 30m-selling Millennium Trilogy, is 70% complete, strongly features Camilla Salander, the twin of the series' protaganist Lisbeth, and is set "between Ireland, Sweden and the US", according to Larsson's former colleague Kurdo Baksi.

Baksi, who was speaking at the Edinburgh international book festival about his memoir, Stieg Larsson My Friend, claims to have been shown the draft novel by Larsson's partner of nearly 30 years, Eva Gabrielsson, shortly after the author's death. Larsson died of a heart attack in 2004, before the novels were published.

However Baksi's claims about the fourth book are sharply contradicted by Gabrielsson herself, who has said that the novel, at about 200 pages, is only about 30% complete and does not "hang together". It exists in draft form on his computer, which she has kept.
