The Intern's Handbook

Interns are unnoticed. That's the motto of HR, Inc., an elite "placement agency" that also functions as a network of assassins-for-hire, assassinating high-profile executives who couldn't remember the name of an intern if their lives depended on it. John Lago, at the tender age of twenty-five, i... s already the most successful hit man in New York City. He's also an intern at a prestigious Manhattan law firm, working eighty hours a week getting coffee, answering phones, and doing all the grunt work no one else wants to do, but he's not attempting to climb the corporate ladder. He was hired to kill one of the firm's most closely guarded partners. His internship serves as the ideal cover, allowing him to gather information and gain access in order to execute a clean, untraceable hit. John Lago's unofficial survival guide for new recruits at HR, Inc. is The Intern's Handbook. (Rule #4: "Learn to make the perfect cup of coffee: if you make an executive the best cup of coffee he's ever had, he'll make sure you're at his desk every morning for a repeat performance. That's the kind of exposure that leads to access and trust. My superior coffee-making abilities were responsible for 44% of my kills.") The handbook is part confessional, part how-to, and follows John on his final mission, a twisted thrill ride in which he is pitted against the toughest—and sexiest—adversary he's ever faced: Alice, an FBI agent tasked with assassinating the same law partner he's been assigned to kill.
