The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest (original title in Swedish: Luftslottet som sprängdes, lit.'The castle in the air that was blown up') is a psychological thriller novel by Swedish author Stieg Larsson.[1] It was published in Swedish in 2007; in English, in the United Kingdom, in October 2009; and in the United States and Canada on 25 May 2010.[2][3] The three novels in the Millennium series, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2005), The Girl Who Played with Fire (2006), and The Girl who Kicked the Hornets' Nest were written by Larsson and were published posthumously after his fatal heart attack in 2004.[4] All three novels were adapted as films.
