THE MOUNTAIN SHADOW - GREGORY DAVID ROBERTS KAR...

Shantaram introduced millions of readers to a cast of unforgettable characters through Lin  an
Australian fugitive  working as a passport forger in Bombay. In The Mountain Shadow   Lin must
find his way in a city run by a different generation of mafia dons  playing by a different set
of rules.  It has been two years since the events in Shantaram   and since Lin lost his soul
mate Karla  now married to a media tycoon. On his return from a smuggling trip  Lin discovers
that the mafia leadership has become entangled in increasingly violent and dangerous intrigues.
Meanwhile  an encounter with a fabled holy man challenges everything he thought he'd learned
about love and life. But Lin can't leave the Island City: Karla  and a fatal promise  won't let
him go.  'Roberts is brilliant at creating a sense of menace and projecting the constant
tension of the escaped convict . . . crucially  he is also a man who loves and understands
India . . . Nearly 900 pages of pure escape' Sunday Times   'Evocative . . . shines a light
into the shadowy corners of society and our darkest desires' Mail on Sunday   'Profound
meditations on the nature of life  time  ambition  evil  love and everything else that matters'
