Diane at Bibliophile by the Sea hosts First Chapter, First Paragraph, Tuesday Intros. This week's intro is from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson.

When, as usual, the flower was delivered , he took off the wrapping paper and then picked up the telephone to call Detective Superintendent Morell who, when he retired, had moved to Lake Siljan in Darlarna. They were not only the same age, they had been born on the same day -- which was something of an irony under the circumstances. The old policeman was sitting with his coffee, waiting, expecting the call.
