One Percent

Gordon dVenables

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.‎
