   Summary

   Dave Strider is known across the world as the youngest assassin. He rose to prominence at the age of seven, having (allegedly) killed his father. Now, as a new recruit for the International Contract Agency’s Federal Convict Exchange Program, he’s trading freedom for a badge he never wanted to earn.

   Meanwhile, Karkat Vantas is one of the ICA’s most prolific handlers. His decade-long career spans multiple agents, but that doesn’t exempt him from bad assignments. Despite his protests, he’s been enlisted as the handler for the ICA’s newest and most infamous hitman.
