“A gripping thriller that weaves a cutthroat family battle over a business empire with a heart-pounding hunt for a notorious serial killer. 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. It will have you reading—and guessing—late into the night!”
-Angie Kim,
NYT 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 this novel a perfect binge read. Sleek, propulsive, and packed with twisted family dynamics.”
-Karin Tanabe

Bio
Amin was raised in India and came to America at the age of 17. He worked as an architect for many years before turning to writing. His first two novels (as A.X. Ahmad) were in the thriller genre, and he won the 2020 GS Chandra Prize for his book of short stories.
After a decade-long break, he is back with his debut book club novel, A KILLER IN THE FAMILY.
He now teaches creative writing at Duke University, and lives in Durham NC with his family and a very mischievous cat. When he’s not writing, he can be found on his front porch, drinking tea and watching the world go by.
