"Learn to be a hired killer"

Fresh Fiction Review

The Intern's Handbook
Shane Kuhn

Reviewed by Sharon Salituro

Suspense

John Lago, is a hired killer. John was brought into the Human Resources Company. This company is not the one that most people would think of. This is not the one to make sure that people's rights in their company are taken care of. This company hires young lost kids to come into this group to learn how to kill people.

John Lago writes this book to help other young people learn the trade. John was plucked out of jail at the young age of fourteen after he was arrested for killing his foster parents. Bob the head of HR took him under his wings to teach him the trade. John is about to retire, but first he has one more job to complete. John will be an intern at a high class lawyer's office. While there, he meets Alice. John thinks she is just another intern, but it turns out that she is a FBI agent investing the same person that John is hired to kill.

Shane Kuhn writes a strange but very thrilling book. Most of the book is in the third person. It is very creepy, but takes a person into the mind of a killer. I found that I was riveted to the way the main character had no heart. He had no problem killing people. Shane Kuhn must have done a lot of investigating into this. I am by no means saying he is a hired killer. Just saying that the way this book is written, he either has a great imagination or he spoke with some killers.

I really liked THE INTERN'S HANDBOOK. Shane Kuhn did bring out that sometimes killers really do have a heart and do what they do for a reason.

SUMMARY

JOHN LAGO IS A HITMAN. HE HAS SOME RULES FOR YOU. AND HE’ S ABOUT TO BREAK EVERY SINGLE ONE.

John Lago is a very bad guy. But he’s the very best at what he does. And what he does is infiltrate top-level companies and assassinate crooked executives while disguised as an intern.

Interns are invisible. That’s the secret behind HR, Inc., the elite “placement agency” that doubles as a network of assassins for hire who take down high-profile targets that wouldn’t be able to remember an intern’s name if their lives depended on it.

At the ripe old age of almost twenty-five, John Lago is already New York City’s most successful hit man. He’s also an intern at a prestigious Manhattan law firm, clocking eighty hours a week getting coffee, answering phones, and doing all the grunt work actual employees are too lazy to do. He was hired to assas­sinate one of the firm’s heavily guarded partners. His internship provides the perfect cover, enabling him to gather intel and gain access to pull off a clean, untraceable hit.

Part confessional, part DIY manual, The Intern’s Handbook chronicles John’s final assignment, a twisted thrill ride in which he is pitted against the toughest—and sexiest—adversary he’s ever faced: Alice, an FBI agent assigned to take down the same law partner he’s been assigned to kill.
