From the best-selling author of The Tourist comes a tale where a young man struggles to find his identity.
Olen Steinhauer's crafty story - "The Start-Up" - begins as an affectionate recounting by Tom, a down-on-his-luck graduate caring for his sick mother and reconnecting with his awkward friend, Jerry McLaughlin. Jerry lives in a relative's basement in Chicago, and over the intervening months the two young men strategize Jerry's seemingly innocuous plan to become a supervillain in the spirit of Bond greats like Blofeld. Things turn dark, however, when Jerry's plans find success, and he enlists the wayward Tom to help him expand his little start-up to the next level.
At turns witty and diabolical, "The Start-Up" is a fiendish take on both the spy genre and the dangerous friendships of Highsmith, le Carre, and others.
"Start-Up" by Olen Steinhauer is one of 20 short stories within Mulholland Books' Strand Originals series, featuring thrilling stories by the most legendary authors in the Strand Magazine archives.
