The Intern's Handbook

Interns are invisible. ThatâÈçs the mantra behind HR, Inc., an elite âÈêplacement agencyâÈë that doubles as a network of assassins-for-hire, taking down high-profile executives who wouldnâÈçt be able to remember an internâÈçs name if their lives depended on it.At the ripe old age of twenty-five, John Lago is already New York CityâÈçs most successful hit man. HeâÈçs also an intern at a prestigious Manhattan law firm, clocking eighty hours a week getting coffee, answering phones, and doing all the grunt work no one else wants to do. But he isnâÈçt trying to claw his way to the top of the corporate food chain. He was hired to assassinate one of the firmâÈçs heavily guarded partners. His internship is the perfect cover, enabling him to gather intel and gain access in order to pull off a clean, untraceable hit. The InternâÈçs Handbook is John LagoâÈçs unofficial survival guide for new recruits at HR, Inc. (Rule #4: âÈêLearn how to make the perfect cup of coffee: you make an exec the best coffee heâÈçs ever had, and he will make sure youâÈçre at his desk every morning for a repeat performance. ThatâÈçs repetitive exposure, which begets access and trust. 44% of my kills came from my superior coffee-making abilities.âÈë) Part confessional, part how-to, the handbook chronicles JohnâÈçs final assignment, a twisted thrill ride in which he is pitted against the toughestâÈ'and sexiestâÈ'adversary heâÈçs ever faced: Alice, an FBI agent assigned to take down the same law partner heâÈçs been assigned to kill.
