About this episode
True Crime Tuesday presents Almost Surely Dead with Author, Amina Akhtar! In the days before her disappearance, Dunia Ahmed is a successful pharmacist living in New York. The daughter of Pakistani immigrants, she’s coping with a broken engagement and the death of her mother. But then something happens that really shakes up her world: someone tries to murder her. When her would-be killer winds up dead, Dunia figures the worst is over. But then there’s another attempt on her life…and another. And police suspect someone close to her may be the culprit. Dunia struggles to make sense of what’s happening. And as childhood superstitions seep into her reality, she becomes convinced that someone―or some thing ―is truly after her. Author of Almost Surely Dead, Amina Akhtar joins TCT to talk about the book, her motivations behind the characters and story, why the supernatural and crime topics make such a delicious mix for a thriller, and the art of reaching out to real life rivals through your work!
