The Night of the Storm (2024)by Nishita Parekh

From debut author Nishita Parekh, a fresh take on the classic locked-room thriller, about a multigenerational Indian American family marooned in a house with a murderer during Hurricane Harvey

Hurricane Harvey is about to hit Houston. Meanwhile, single mom Jia Shah is already having a rough week: her twelve-year-old son, Ishaan, has just been suspended from school for getting in a fight. Still reeling from the fallout of her divorce¡ªtheir move to Houston, her family¡¯s disapproval, the struggle to make ends meet on her own¡ªnow Jia is worried about Ishaan¡¯s future, too. Will her solo parenting be enough? Doesn¡¯t a boy need a father?

And now their apartment complex is under a mandatory evacuation order. Jia¡¯s sister, Seema, has invited them to hunker down in her fancy house in Sugar Land, and despite Jia¡¯s misgivings¡ªSeema¡¯s husband, Vipul, has been just a little too friendly with her lately¡ªJia concedes it¡¯s probably the best place to keep Ishaan safe during the hurricane. With Jia¡¯s philandering ex scrutinizing her every move, all too eager to snatch back custody of Ishaan, she can¡¯t afford to make a mistake.

When Vipul¡¯s brother and his wife show up on Seema¡¯s doorstep, too, it¡¯s a recipe for disaster. Grandma, the family matriarch, has never been shy about playing favorites among her sons and their wives. As the storm escalates, tensions rise quickly, and soon someone¡¯s dead. Was it a horrible accident or is there a murderer in their midst?

With no help available until the floodwaters recede in the morning, Jia must protect her son and identify the culprit before she goes down for a crime she didn¡¯t commit¡ªor becomes the next victim. . . .
