Get Me Out of Here

This dark satire about an entitled young banker in a downward spiral is "a very modern and thoroughly haunting piece of work" (The Sunday Telegraph).

It's 2008 and Matt Freeman is living in London, desperately trying to keep a toehold in the financial world by running a shadow banking business with contacts in North Korea and Iran. He is furious with the emptiness and impermanence of twenty-first century life--but addicted to the allure of luxury possessions: cars, watches, bespoke suits. And meanwhile, there is the question of why the women in Matt Freeman's life seem to disappear.
Capturing one of the world's financial capitals at a crucial moment, poised between extravagant excess and a terrifying recession, Get Me Out of Here is a satirical psychological thriller about the rage and desperation that come with the expectation of money for nothing. By turns darkly comic and unnerving, Sutton's novel possesses a moral authority rare in contemporary fiction.
