The worst situation was on the Indian Ocean when I was doing my solo circumnavigation. East of the Chagos Islands I got hit with this terrible stomach bug. I had a fever for days and couldn\u2019t keep anything down. On the fourth day a small cyclone came up from the south.<\/p>\n

I was so weak that I just couldn\u2019t control the boat, and it took on a lot of water. Something made me hold on, though, and I managed to throw out the drag anchor, which is what saved me. And once off the shore of northern Spain I had a rudder break. Luckily the Coast Guard came to the rescue before I floated out into the Atlantic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mikke paused for thirty seconds, then looked straight into my eyes. \u201cAnd what about you? Have you ever been in danger?\u201d My phone rang before I could answer. Puupponen was calling from the station, asking how to handle one of Str\u00f6m\u2019s open cases. I moved to the bow to talk, and by the time I had the issue handled, we were almost at the marina. I called Seija Saarela, who said she was available all afternoon.<\/p>\n

Koivu said he wasn\u2019t going to interview Saarela or fill out a single line of paperwork until he got some food, so I promised him we\u2019d hit Chico\u2019s for steak fajitas before going to see Saarela. We needed to get moving. I remembered I had promised to get home early so Antti could make it to a vintage French film that was being screened at the State Film Archives. It wasn\u2019t until Koivu slapped me on the back that I realized I was staring at Mikke Sj\u00f6berg as he climbed into Holma\u2019s car.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaria,\u201d Koivu said cautiously. \u201cRemember that you\u2019re married and that guy is a suspect. You know he\u2019s hiding something.\u201d \u201cDid you escort Wang all the way home last night or just to the bus?\u201d After shooting off that comeback, I headed to our car. Damn it. Koivu was getting to know me a little bit too well.<\/p>\n

OceanofPDF.com \u201cI didn\u2019t particularly like Juha Merivaara,\u201d Seija Saarela said, setting down a mottled violet amethyst the size of a baby\u2019s fist. We had gone to her home, which happened to be next door to Jiri\u2019s high school. The living room of the one-bedroom apartment was full of crystals and polishing implements.<\/p>\n

At first I could see only its silhouette, but gradually the smooth slopes of the ruddy granite cliffs along the shore began to take shape.<\/p>\n

A round lighthouse and fortress left over from the Crimean War emerged above them. R\u00f6dsk\u00e4r Island was the southernmost point in Espoo, the last major piece of land before the boundary of Finland\u2019s territorial waters.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
