Katoamispiste

Wind and rain whip the Bulevardi one autumn morning when a psychiatrist on his way from work sees a woman lose her umbrella to the sky. He offers help, then coffee. Magda Roux, from France, is searching for Paul, her former husband, who disappeared six months ago; his final sign of life was a card posted in Helsinki, and her only lead is a French translation of a book by Raija Siekkinen, the Finnish author who died in 2004. Having read Siekkinen himself, the doctor promises to help, but by the next day Magda has checked out and gone. He cannot let the riddle rest. Weaving real people and invention together, the book follows a trail that runs through Kotka, Paris and Nice.
