The fourth book in Stieg Larsson's Millennium series will be called The Girl in the Spider's Web, Digital Spy reports.

The new edition in the series will be released worldwide on August 27 in about 38 different languages.

Swedish author and journalist David Lagercrantz has written the book, taking over the series after Larsson's death in 2004.

The fourth novel continues to tell the story of Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomqvist, and follows on from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest.

The book trilogy inspired film adaptations in both the US and Sweden.

Rooney Mara, who starred in the 2011 US version, admitted that she is doubtful a Girl with the Dragon Tattoo film sequel will happen.
