Film Work

After the war ended he worked as a journalist helping to reorganize and reestablish post-war Swedish media. Due to his coverage of pro-US and pro-Tzarist groups as well as Swedish neo-nazis he worked part-time with the Svenska Intelligence (post-war Sapo), resulting in death threats which would plague with for the rest of his life.

Due to the traumatic experience of watching a gang rape when he was 15 years old and the loss of friends and family during the '91 Disaster, he started writing The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy of novels with those themes of violence against women and political extremism. He sent the manuscripts of the three novels to a publisher only a few weeks before his death from a heart attack at the age of 50.
