Summary
"From Australia to Antwerp, Boris' life appeared to any skepticist as nothing but a made-up story. Having a dead mother and deadbeat father was a common enough occurrence, but having lived in nearly a dozen countries before the age of fifteen was something that raised a few eyebrows. Surely that brevity—that fleeting acceptance—wasn’t good for him. A no-attachments kind of life was no way to live.
In just over a decade, he’d gone from an impoverished thief, starving and suicidal, to a well-dressed businessman, clean-shaven and sharp-tongued. Boris couldn’t be held down, even now, surely not by anyone or any thing or any place."
