I found that with this particular file, Calibre has inserted line breaks that take off the first letter of a word at the start of the paragraph and puts another line under it.

Here is the code:

<p class="calibre1"></p>

<div class="calibre10">
M
</div>

<p>y jailers merely tightened their hold and frog-marched me when I wobbled. Suckers are very strong; they may not have noticed that they were now bearing nearly all my weight as my knees gave and my feet lost their purchase on the ragged ground.</p>

Does anyone know how to fix this without having to go through every single paragraph of the story? I'd like to do it with a find/replace thing if possible (using Sigil??).

Your help would be very much appreciated as I want to get to read my book ASAP!

Thanks
That looks like a "Dropcap" conversion that has gone wrong

Except you said: every single paragraph , not Chapter starts.

What did the original visually look like? Something special with the first letter of every Paragraph?

The other thing I noticed is there were no styles in the regular paragraphs.
Maybe a Guru will be by to help?
