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.

As he closes in on the truth, Ali must ask himself if he can pay the price unimaginable wealth demands"-- Provided by publisher. more
