“The Shadow of the Mountain” is the long-awaited continuation of one of the most astonishing novels of the early 21st century!
“Shantaram” was a confession refracted into fiction by a man who managed to escape the abyss and survive—it spread around the world in a circulation of four million copies (half a million in Russia) and earned enthusiastic comparisons with the works of the best writers of the new time, from Melville to Hemingway. The acclaimed Jonathan Carroll wrote: “A person whom ‘Shantaram’ doesn’t touch to the depths of the soul either has no heart or is dead… ‘Shantaram’ is the ‘Arabian Nights’ of our era. It’s a priceless gift for everyone who loves to read.” And at last G. D. Roberts has written a continuation of Lin’s story—Shantaram—who escaped an Australian high-security prison and became in Bombay a counterfeiter and a smuggler.
So, two years have passed since Lin lost his two closest people: Kaderbhai—the mafia boss, who died in the Afghan mountains—and Karl—a mysterious, desired beauty who married a Bombay media magnate. Now Lin must carry out the final assignment given to him by Kaderbhai: win the trust of a wise man living on the mountain, keep his head safe amid a conflict between new mafia bosses that is erupting uncontrollably—and, most importantly, find love and faith.
