A fascinating look at the world's largest open murder investigation . . .
When Olof Palme was assassinated in 1986, the news shocked the world. I remember it well, because I am of mainly Swedish descent and longed for a connection to my ancestral land, so the news stories caught my attention more than they did the imagination of the average American. It was quickly overshadowed in international news a few months later when Swedish scientists were among the first to detect what happened at Chernobyl. But the investigation never really reached an end. Now, more than three decades later, the notes of Stieg Larsson (crusader against right-wing extremism, and later author of the Millennium trilogy of novels), indicate a far larger conspiracy than anyone at the time had really believed, and provides clues that may soon solve the murder at last.
