Stieg Larrson - the plot thickens in battle over author's estate

[DC]

LA Times

...five years after Stieg Larrson's untimely death and millions of
book sales later, the Swedish crime writer's estate is caught in a
bitter feud worthy of one of his thrillers, complete with a
strong-willed female protagonist, a murky bog of possible villains and
a plot that has transfixed this Scandinavian country.

It's a saga of love, literature and the law. Of blood versus bond,
pitting Larsson's relatives against his lifelong companion for control
of a posthumous publishing juggernaut that shows no sign of slowing...

Nothing surprising. I have seen families tear themselves apart over
estates valued at less than $5000. It is amazing what a little bit of
money will do to people, and a lot of money makes it even worse. A
very good reason to have a will...

Unless you actually want a family fight...........

Agreed, though. I have heard of such bitter, family-splitting disputes
over quite small differences.

Coincidentally, I just read this entry in Tim Gowers's blog.

"I can't resist sharing what is, by a long way, the silliest
piece of fictional mathematics I have ever come across.
It comes in "The Girl Who Played With Fire," by the
late Stieg Larsson, translated (not very well) by someone
called Reg Keeling...."
