**INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER** Best of the YearâSeattle Times
An elite assassin goes undercover as an unpaid office lackey in The Internâs Handbook, âa sexy, darkly comic thriller with cinematic flourishesâ (New York Daily News).
âImagine Dexter working in The Officeâ (Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel) and you have John Lago, intern at one of the biggest law firms in Manhattan. He clocks eighty hours a week getting coffee, answering phones, and doing all of the grunt work no one else wants to doâŚand he doesnât make a dime. But John isnât trying to claw his way to the top of the corporate food chain. He was hired to assassinate one of the firmâs high profile, heavily guarded partners. His internship is the perfect coverâhe can gather intel and secure the access he needs to execute a clean, untraceable kill. âFaceless and forgettable, an internâs as invisible as a ninja in fluorescent lightsâand, at least in John Lagoâs case, just as deadlyâ (NPR.org).
The Internâs Handbook begins as an unofficial survival guide for new recruits at Human Resources, Inc.âa front for one of the most elite assassin training and âplacementâ programs in the worldâand becomes a chronicle of Johnâs final assignment, a twisted, violent thrill ride in which he is pitted against the strongest (and sexiest) adversary he has ever faced: Alice, a federal agent assigned to investigate the same law firm partner Johnâs been hired to kill.
