Middleman

By Flaherty, Brendan

First published 2026

Struggling with work and fatherhood, Jake Flynn is forced to make an impossible choice when an eccentric, sordid con artist ropes him into a mausoleum heist that could cost him more than he bargained for As an overworked and underpaid remote worker for a tech company, Jake Flynn feels stuck. His aging parents need care, his young children need attention, and his burnt-out wife needs support. With his boss hounding him at all hours of the day and the seemingly never-ending debts rolling in, Jake is struggling to stay afloat. When his family moves into their new rental on the other side of their small New England town, his new neighbors only add to his stress. There’s Edwina, the town historian with an increasingly strange newsletter and a secret bubbling at the surface. Her son, Eddie, is a greasy con-man hungry for easy money and with a long-simmering desire for vengeance against Jake’s family.
