friendship, and anger... Roberts' latest will take readers on an

*Bookish*
Roberts's sequel to Shantaram defies easy categorization, one of
its many charms. The dashing hero Lin, an Australian fugitive, is
worldly, two-fisted, rides a motorcycle, has a social conscience,
quotes great writers and, as the book opens, struggles bravely to
get over his lost love, Karla... He narrates his interactions with
many larger-than-life street types in an energetic and often salty
first person... Roberts keeps the action moving and the narrative
engaging... This series of robust, retro capers with contemporary
trappings will have readers feverishly turning the pages
*Publishers Weekly*
