John
Lago spends the majority of his time sucking up to hedge fund big wigs
and powerful lawyers by making copies and brewing perfect cups of
coffee. He could tell his superiors his name a hundred times and they
would still forget it because they have no respect for someone at the
bottom of the barrel, working for free. The irony is that they will heap
important duties with total abandon and unlimited access; but what they
don’t know is that there is more to John Lago than just an intern…
Simon & Schuster, in partnership with Wunderkind PR, would love to hear what interns think of The Intern’s Handbook. Interns
will be selected from over twenty companies to receive specially marked
copies of The Intern’s Handbook. We’d love to hear what interns think
of the book through reviews, feedback and images featuring the Twitter
and Facebook hashtag #internships.
** Soon to be a Major Motion Picture by Sony Pictures, with Dave Franco (Neighbors, 21 Jump Street) attached to star **
One of the best books of 2014, coming in a new trade paperback edition
this February 2015!

About THE INTERN'S HANDBOOK
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. 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 nearing his
mandatory retirement with HR Inc. His last assignment is at New York
City’s most prestigious law firm on assignment to assassinate one of the
firm’s most heavily guarded partners.
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.
