A mystery set among New York City’s elite, for fans of ‘Succession’ and readers of CRAZY RICH ASIANS and MY SISTER THE SERIAL KILLER.
When Ali Azeem, a bachelor from Mumbai, agrees to a traditional arranged marriage with Maryam Khan, he thinks he has hit the jackpot: ​She is the daughter of a real-estate tycoon in New York City. After the wedding, Ali moves to America and enters a heady, Gatsby-esque world of luxury.
But something holds Ali back from embracing the Khans and joining the family real estate business: There are hints that the patriarch of the Khan family father is an amoral monster. Ali launches his own amateur investigation into the Khans​ and struggles to determine who they really are: A family that has achieved the American dream, or a clan of liars, harboring a killer? ​
A KILLER IN THE FAMILY is both a page turner and an unforgettable portrait of an immigrant family.
