"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"-- Provided by publisher. - McMillan Palgrave
An intoxicating drama set in the world of New York Cityâs elite, A Killer in the Family asks: What happens when you marry into a family that keeps secrets?
Itâs time for Ali, a good-natured Mumbai party-boy, to grow up and settle down. It turns out that there is a perfect mate for him: Maryam, the daughter of Abbas Khan, a New York real estate tycoon. Sheâs pretty, demure and respectable, unlike her sister, Farhan, a sexy, rebellious divorcee.
After an arranged marriage, Ali moves to New York and enjoys the privileges of being an honorary Khan: private helicopters, supertall skyscrapers, and a Gatsbyesque estate in the Hamptons. But soon rumors begin to surface about Abbas Khanâaccusations of corruption and hidden affairsâand Farhan hints that an even worse secret underlies Abbas's success. All of this leads Ali to wonder if he should believe Farhan or his wife, who insists that the insinuations are unfounded.
To uncover the truth, Ali launches his own investigation, which takes him deep into Abbas's past. As he closes in on the truth, Ali must decide: Can he remain part of the Khan family, and pay the moral price demanded by unimaginable wealth and power?
Told in an electric and unforgettable voice, A Killer in the Family explores the dark side of the American dream. It will have you questioning the motives of each Khan family member right until the very end.
