Gregory David Roberts writes crime and adventure fiction strongly associated with India, exile and characters trying to rebuild themselves after violent pasts. Shantaram follows Australian fugitive Lin as he arrives in Bombay, becomes involved with slum communities, criminals, forged documents and eventually conflict beyond the city. The novel mixes romance, organised crime, friendship and philosophical reflection across a very large cast. The Mountain Shadow continues Lin's story through new alliances and criminal power struggles in Mumbai. Roberts's prose is expansive, dramatic and highly reflective, with action repeatedly interrupted by long conversations about loyalty, freedom and morality. His work fits crime saga, India-set adventure and large-scale literary thriller. Read more Less
