The Dead Cat Tail Assassins are really only worried about one thing in the world, completing their contracts, but what happens when the assassin just *can't* hit the mark? This book is the wild ride of what happens when one such assassin suddenly finds herself in paradox after paradox while trying to sort out an impossible contract. As always, P. Djèlí Clark weaves an inthralling, dark magical world that you simultaneously want to jump into and are a little bit terrified of.
