Description

If you're reading this, you're a new employee at Human Resources, Inc.

Congratulations. And condolences. At the very least, you're embarking on a career that you will never be able to describe as dull. You'll go to interesting places. You'll meet unique and stimulating people from all walks of life. And kill them. You will make a lot of money, but that will mean nothing to you after the first job.

Assassination, no matter how easy it looks in the movies, is the most difficult, stressful, and lonely profession on the planet.

Even when you're disguised as an intern.

John Lago is a hitman. He has some rules for you. And he's about to break every single one.

Published in the US as The Intern's Handbook

Reviews

Dark, assured and utterly thrilling. Makes Grosse Pointe Blank look like Goodbye Mr. Chips - John Niven

Being bad is seldom this good. Mercilessly entertaining - Christopher Brookmyre

Set to be the book of the summer - Company

An immersive literary experience - Vogue

Smart, original - The Sun

Dark, but brilliantly written - Marie Claire

A thrilling, jet-black comedy that crackles with action... sleek, quirky and enjoyable - Sunday Mirror

Believable dialogue, a whip smart and cynical central character, clever reversals and an entertaining amount of bone-crunching violence help wrap up this nasty package with a pretty little bow. An entertaining, ferociously violent romp about a morally bankrupt killer trying to find his way home. - Kirkus
