One Percent
In the silent Iranian desert, Curtis has positioned himself waiting with his steady rifle and controlled breathing. He has been here before in different places, but this time, something refuses to settle. This time the target in sights is not just any target but a ghost from the past whom he tried to bury, now bound to a dangerous alliance between Russian oligarchs and the Iranian regime. This is the one per cent that defines Curtis’s life – the instant where weeks of planning give way to irreversible choice. His path has carried him from the teahouses of Isfahan to Moscow’s sealed boardrooms and the unforgiving streets of Paris, through a world of human traffickers, neo-Nazi bikers and quiet conspiracies that stretch across borders. At the final moment he realises the mission was never only about the shot. It is about facing the weight of his past, an unexpected ally who changes the rules, and deciding what he is willing to sacrifice when a single pull of the trigger could alter everything.
