"The Shadow of the Mountain" is the long-awaited sequel to one of the most astonishing novels of the early 21st century!
"Shantaram" was a literary confession of a man who managed to escape the abyss and survive. It sold four million copies worldwide (half a million of them in Russia) and earned enthusiastic comparisons to the works of the best modern writers, from Melville to Hemingway. The venerable Jonathan Carroll wrote: "A man who is not deeply moved by Shantaram either has no heart or is dead... Shantaram is the Arabian Nights of our century. It is a priceless gift to anyone who loves to read."
And now, at last, G.D. Roberts has written a continuation of the story of Lin, nicknamed Shantaram, who escaped from an Australian maximum-security prison and became a counterfeiter and smuggler in Bombay.
So, two years have passed since Lin lost the two people closest to him: Khaderbhai, a mafia boss who died in the Afghan mountains, and Karla, a mysterious, desirable beauty who married a Bombay media mogul. Now Lin must fulfill Khaderbhai's final mission: win the trust of a sage living on the mountain, keep his head in the escalating conflict between the new mafia bosses, and, most importantly, find love and faith.
