Amazon Crossing to Publish Stieg Larsson True Crime Story

Amazon Crossing, the literature in translation imprint of Amazon Publishing, has acquired The Man Who Played with Fire: Stieg Larsson's Lost Files and the Hunt for an Assassin by Jan Stocklassa, translated by Tara F. Chace, and slated for publication on October 1, 2019.

Ten years following The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo author Stieg Larsson’s death, journalist Jan Stocklassa gained access to Larsson’s private archive, uncovering Larsson’s unknown project—research and investigation into the unsolved assassination of Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme. Stocklassa picks up on Larsson’s extensive research and quest to solve one of the most enigmatic murder mysteries in European history. Amazon Crossing senior editor Elizabeth DeNoma acquired global English rights from Judith Toth at The Nordin Agency.

Published originally in Swedish in November 2018, Jan Stocklassa’s book has now been published in Dutch, Finnish, Danish, German, Polish, Norwegian, French, and Estonian, with another 16 languages to follow. Jan Stocklassa is also executive producer of a documentary film focusing on Larsson’s research into extreme right-wing groups. The documentary, titled The Man Who Played with Fire, premiered internationally at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2019.
