Description
A thrilling, intoxicating novel set among New York City’s most elite residents, for readers of My Sister, the Serial Killer and The Age of Vice
Ali Azeem, a naive Muslim bachelor from Mumbai, thinks he has hit the jackpot when he agrees to an arranged marriage with Maryam Khan, daughter of Abbas Khan, a self-made real-estate tycoon and one of the richest men in New York. Moving with her to the United States, Ali quickly enters an intoxicating, Gatsbyesque world of supertall skyscrapers, sumptuous clothing, and helicopter rides to the Hamptons. However, shortly after the newlyweds move into one of the city’s most luxurious apartments, Maryam’s older sister, Farhan, tells Ali that beneath her father's success lies sinister deeds.
But can Farhan be trusted? She is a rebellious outsider and, according to Maryam, an unstable liar. Plus, as the newly minted husband of Abbas’s favorite daughter, Ali has an open invitation to join Tiger Corp., the family’s business empire. Before he commits, Ali launches his own investigation to determine who the Khans really are: the embodiment of the American dream—or cutthroat one-percenters out for themselves? As he closes in on the truth, Ali must ask himself if he can pay the price unimaginable wealth demands.
An unforgettable, riveting portrait of power and family secrets, A Killer in the Family will have readers second-guessing every Khan until its shocking end.
Advance Praise
“A Killer In The Family is a gripping, propulsive thriller that weaves a cutthroat family battle over a business empire (à la Succession) with a heart-pounding hunt for a notorious serial killer. Amin Ahmad takes us into the glittering world of an ultra-wealthy Indian American dynasty for a thought-provoking interrogation of the dark side of power, ambition, and the American dream. The deliciously twisty plot will have you reading—and guessing—late into the night!”
—Angie Kim, New York Times bestselling author of Happiness Falls and Miracle Creek
“Meet the Khans, an imperfect family of perfect liars. They’ve got money to burn and morals to leave behind—but there’s blood on someone’s Cartier-covered hands. Unraveling the unsolved murders surrounding them makes A Killer in the Family a perfect binge read. Sleek, propulsive, and packed with twisted family dynamics: Think Succession meets Crazy Rich Asians.”
–Karin Tanabe, author of A Woman of Intelligence
