Publisher's Synopsis
In suburbia, low level Agent Assassins Maria and Marco Fandanelli are given a surprise promotion as "Things Aren't Going Too Well With The War". They set sail on a luxury cruise-liner, hoping an important mission might save their careers and marriage. Their son Peter is left behind at Panbury Hall, a dilapidated and derelict boarding school. Chewti Misorov, despite being a member of an Agent Assassin dynasty, is reluctantly an AA only to track down Nadia, the cousin who killed her mother. Really, she wants to be a teacher. When Nadia is spotted at Panbury Hall, the opportunity to avenge her mother's death and have her dream job is too tempting. The World is at War, again defies expectation as characters take on an extravagant, often comic search for identity and meaning in unusual times.
