Swedish novelist Karin Smirnoff sure has given the topic a lot of thought, both in her Jan Kippo trilogy and in her first Millenium book – the seventh in the series. On a cold winter day way up north, Smirnoff elaborated on her writing.
Karin Smirnoff debuted with her novel suite about Jana Kippo in 2018. Her books have been a great success both in Sweden and internationally.
With her latest book, Smirnoff takes over the torch in the world-famous Millennium series. 'The Girl in the Eagle's Talons' is book number 7 in the series. Once again, Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomqvist’s paths cross, this time in northern Sweden.
