Ein Mann auf der Flucht - Eine Stadt, die nie schläft - Und die Gnade einer befreienden Liebe Shantaram erzählt in fiktionaler Form die Geschichte von Roberts' eigenem Leben: Als der Australier Lindsay in Bombay strandet, hat er zwei Jahre seiner Gefängnisstrafe abgesessen und ist auf der Flucht vor Interpol. Zu seinem Glück begegnet er dem jungen Inder Prabaker, der ihn unter seine Fittiche nimmt. Auf ihren Streifzügen durch die exotische Metropole schließen die beiden eine innige Freundschaft. Von Prabaker lernt Lindsay nicht nur die Landessprache, sondern auch, mit sich ins Reine zu kommen: Er wird zu 'Shantaram', einem 'Mann des Friedens' und kämpft für die Ärmsten der Armen. Doch dann verfällt Lindsay der geheimnisvollen Karla, einer Deutsch-Amerikanerin mit dubiosen Kontakten zur Unterwelt ... Ein Roman, so leidenschaftlich wie der Herzschlag Indiens, voller Wahrheit und Poesie.
