Sutton reimagines the life of Willie Sutton, the legendary bank robber who rose from the Irish slums of Brooklyn to become one of America’s most famous outlaws. Born in 1901, Sutton comes of age when powerful banks dominate the landscape, and he sees robbery as his only escape and the only way to win the woman he loves.

Across three turbulent decades, Sutton perfects his craft so completely that the FBI names him to its first Most Wanted list. Yet he becomes a strange kind of folk hero, a criminal known for never firing a shot, cheered by crowds even as he is led back to jail.

The novel follows Sutton’s long career and the obsessions that drive him, blending suspense, romance, dark humour, and melancholy. When he receives a surprise pardon on Christmas Eve 1969, he steps into freedom with a single goal: to find his first love and confront the choices that shaped his life.

Sutton offers a richly atmospheric portrait of early 20th-century America, from Brooklyn streets to bank vaults and prison yards, while exploring memory, regret, and the thin line between criminal and folk legend.
