A graphic with text on it that says: "Responsibilities of a ship detective aboard the HMS Fairweather:
1. Keep the passengers of the ship safe on their centuries-long journey.
2. Sort out the truth from the lies.
3. Don't get too judgy about the deceased.
4. Don't fall in love with the victim's wife.
5. When things get tricky, drink some tea."

A graphic featuring the mask from the cover of The Dead Cat Tail Assassins by P. Djèlí Clark and the Rules of Being an Assassin. The list of rules is as follows: 
#42: stealth is preferable to - ah, to hell with that 
#112: sometimes fighting isn't an option 
#130: someone wants vengeance, they go after whoever contracted the shipping 
#182: if your job draws you into long conversations, they're biding time 
#183: never piss off the guard dog 
#240: no assassin worth their blades actually sought out a fight

There's more to being an assassin than you might think...especially a Dead Cat Tail Assassin.

They are not cats.

Nor do they have tails.

But they are most assuredly dead.
