このコンテンツについて
A thrilling, intoxicating mystery set among New York City’s most elite residents, for fans of My Sister, The Serial Killer and The Age of Vice
When Ali Azeem, a naïve Muslim bachelor from Mumbai, agrees to a traditional arranged marriage with pretty, reserved Maryam Khan, he thinks he has hit the jackpot: she is the daughter of Abbas Khan, a self-made real estate tycoon and one of the richest men in New York City. After the wedding, the couple moves to America, and Ali quickly enters an intoxicating Gatsby-esque world of supertall skyscrapers, sumptuous clothing, and helicopter rides to the sprawling family property in Southampton. However, shortly after the newlyweds move into a luxury apartment in the center of New York City, he receives a warning from Maryam’s older sister, Farhan, a mercurial divorcee. Farhan claims their father is an amoral monster and a dark secret lies at the heart of his accomplishments.
But can Farhan be trusted? She is a rebellious outsider and, according to Maryam, an unstable liar. Unsure which sister to believe, Ali launches his own amateur investigation into the Khans and quickly discovers a possible connection to a serial killer. However, as the newly minted husband of Abbas’ favorite daughter, Ali has an open invitation to join Tiger Corp., the family’s empire. But before he commits, Ali struggles to determine who the Khans really are: The embodiment of the American dream—or a clan of cutthroat one-percenters out for themselves? As allegiances shift and crumble between Ali and those vying for a chance to take over Tiger Corp., he is forced to question everything he believes about family and loyalty. When the truth is finally revealed, Ali must ask himself if he can pay the price unimaginable wealth demands.
From the streets of Mumbai to the upper echelons of Manhattan to old haunts in Queens, A Killer in the Family is an unforgettable portrait of a family in the form of a page-turner. Exploring themes of immigrant achievement, family secrets, and the power of the one percent, A Killer in the Family is a riveting novel that will have readers second-guessing every member of the Khan family until its shocking end.
批評家のレビュー
“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
