The Intern's Handbook

A Thriller

**INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER** Best of the Year—Seattle Times
An elite assassin goes undercover as an unpaid office lackey in The Intern’s Handbook, “a sexy, darkly comic thriller with cinematic flourishes” (New York Daily News).

“Imagine Dexter working in The Office” (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 do…and he doesn’t make a dime. But John isn’t trying to claw his way to the top of the corporate food chain. He was hired to assassinate one of the firm’s high profile, heavily guarded partners. His internship is the perfect cover—he can gather intel and secure the access he needs to execute a clean, untraceable kill. “Faceless and forgettable, an intern’s as invisible as a ninja in fluorescent lights—and, at least in John Lago’s case, just as deadly” (NPR.org).

The Intern’s Handbook begins as an unofficial survival guide for new recruits at Human Resources, Inc.—a front for one of the most elite assassin training and “placement” programs in the world—and becomes a chronicle of John’s 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 John’s been hired to kill.

Great to get lost in

The subject matter leaves little to the imagination so the narrator tells of 'his lifestyle' with serious clarity and reminiscent humor. Very relatable characters too.

Good fun!

This was a thoroughly entertaining book with a snappy pace and plenty of interesting turns. I enjoyed it from start to finish.

Wonderful Plot Twists!

This book features “never saw that coming” plot twists. I thoroughly enjoyed listening and highly recommend this book.

Clever premise -- a little grisly at times

I picked this up for the premise -- love the concept. The execution (pun intended) was a little intense for this reader. Nonetheless, I recommend this book -- good narration and story moves along quickly. Good ending -- didn't see it coming.

Fast moving fun .

Li stening to this book while sewing made the time fly. The story moved. Not a comfortable tale, nor for the squeamish, but kept my interest. The reader did a good job with the characters, bringing them to life and giving them voice. Enjoyable.
