Booklist
It's 1987. Marcus Lopez
hates school. His grades suck. The jocks are hassling his friends. He can't
focus in class. But the jocks are the children of Joseph Stalin's top assassin,
the teachers are members of an ancient league of assassins, the class he's
failing is "Dismemberment 101," and his crush has a double-digit body count.
Welcome to the most brutal high school on earth, where the world's top crime
families send the next generation of assassins to be trained. Murder is an art.
Killing is a craft. At Kings Dominion School for the Deadly Arts, the dagger in
your back isn't always
metaphorical.
