Book review: The Boy Who Stole From The Dead
I enjoyed The Boy From Reactor 4 enough to give Orest Stelmach's follow-up a
chance - The Boy Who Stole From The Dead is the second of his Nadia Tesla
series, in which the Ukrainian-American heroine is now the legal guardian of teenage
hockey player Bobby, who's actually her illegal immigrant cousin from Chernobyl.
This time Bobby is accused of murder, and her attempts to clear his name without
revealing his true identity see Nadia returning to Ukraine again. The story's
resolution takes a much more extreme turn than I was expecting but Stelmach just
about pulls it off, while setting up an even bigger conspiracy for the third in what
now seems to be a trilogy.
