The Shadow of the Mountain (Shantaram 2)

For the first time in Russian — the long-awaited continuation of one of the most remarkable novels of the early 21st century. 

«Shantaram» — this was a confession of a man who managed to escape the abyss and survive, published worldwide with a circulation of four million copies (of which half a million in Russia) and earning enthusiastic comparisons to the works of the best writers of modern times, from Melville to Hemingway. The esteemed Jonathan Carroll wrote: «A person whom „Shantaram“ does not touch deeply either has no heart or is dead... „Shantaram“ is „One Thousand and One Nights“ of our century. It is a priceless gift for all who love to read». And finally, G. D. Roberts wrote the continuation of the story of Lin, nicknamed Shantaram, who escaped from a maximum-security Australian prison and became a counterfeiter and smuggler in Bombay.
So, two years have passed since Lin lost two of the closest people to him: Kaderbhai — the mafia leader who died in the Afghan mountains, and Carla — the mysterious, desirable beauty who married a Bombay media magnate. Now Lin must complete the last mission given to him by Kaderbhai, to win the trust of the sage living on the mountain, to keep his head amid the uncontrollably escalating conflict of the new mafia leaders, but most importantly — to find love and faith.
