Thursday, July 10
They ate breakfast in the garden in silence and without milk in their coffee. Salander had taken out a Canon digital camera and photographed the macabre2 tableau3 before Blomkvist got a rubbish sack and cleaned it away. He put the cat in the boot of the Volvo. He ought to file a police report for animal cruelty, possibly intimidation4, but he did not think he would want to explain why the intimidation had taken place.
At 8:30 Isabella Vanger walked past and on to the bridge. She did not see them or at least pretended not to.
“How are you doing?” Blomkvist said.
“Oh, I’m fine.” Salander looked at him, perplexed5. OK, then. He expects me to be upset. “When I find the motherfucker who tortured an innocent cat to death just to send us a warning, I’m going to clobber6 him with a baseball bat.”
“You think it’s a warning?”
“Have you got a better explanation? It definitely means something.”
“Whatever the truth is in this story, we’ve worried somebody enough for that person to do something really sick. But there’s another problem too.”
“I know. This is an animal sacrifice in the style of 1954 and 1960 and it doesn’t seem credible7 that someone active fifty years ago would be putting tortured animal corpses9 on your doorstep today.”
Blomkvist agreed.
“The only ones who could be suspected in that case are Harald Vanger and Isabella Vanger. There are a number of older relatives on Johan Vanger’s side, but none of them live in the area.”
Blomkvist sighed.
“Isabella is a repulsive10 bitch who could certainly kill a cat, but I doubt she was running around
