John Macnab
Three successful but bored friends in their mid-forties decide to turn to poaching. They are Sir Edward Leithen, lawyer, Conservative Member of Parliament (MP), and ex-Attorney General; John Palliser-Yeates, banker and sportsman; and Charles, Earl of Lamancha, former adventurer and present Conservative Cabinet Minister. Under the collective name of 'John Macnab', they set up in the Highland home of Sir Archie Roylance, a disabled war hero who wishes to be a Conservative MP. They issue a challenge to three of Roylance's neighbours: first the Radens, who are an old-established family, about to die out; next, the Bandicotts: an American archaeologist and his son, who are renting a grand estate for the summer; and lastly the Claybodys, vulgar, bekilted nouveaux riches. These neighbours are forewarned that 'John Macnab' will poach a salmon or a stag from their land and return it to them undetected...

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.
