She had fourteen stitches in her face and would need two new front teeth. She tried to call Blomkvist to tell him that the Borgsj? folder had been stolen. which was a factor since he was paying for the journey himself. ??What??? He explained that he had come home to find that the blue folder on his kitchen table was gone. He would never surrender voluntarily. ??She??s not hurt.00. That was a surprise. One was from Malm. Some of these are in the Security Police.?? Eriksson said.?? ??But this thing with Erika is a real fly in the ointment. ??You??ll pull through.
