Illegitimate-Advantage: A Novel

By Kirk Gollwitzer

Homayra and Golareh Parastou are seventeen-year-old identical twin sisters living in Tehran when a horrific bomb explosion turns their world upside down. Convinced that Iran is no longer safe, their parents send them to France for a better life. Dr. Henri Lepan, France's minister of trade, arranges for the girls to live in a secret government retreat, known as "the Castle," where they are immersed in a lavish-and erotic-lifestyle for the world's super rich. But when Golareh sees too much, she is violently drawn into the deviant sexual acts and then whisked off to London to live a closely monitored life. Each sister spends the next three decades convinced the other has abandoned her and has long since died. But while working as a reporter in Oxford, Golareh's tragic, forgotten past comes rushing back-triggered by a single image. Armed with the staggering reality of a vast sexual empire, Golareh launches a mission to free herself and her long-lost sister from Lepan-with whom Homayra has been living for over thirty years. For fans of Lee Child and Brad Thor, Illegitimate-Advantage is a breathtaking thriller about hope, love, and justice filled with rich visuals and deeply engaging characters.
