America's most successful bank robber, Willie Sutton became so good at breaking into banks and out of prisons that the FBI put him on its first-ever 'Most Wanted' list. Although the police called him one of the most dangerous men in New York, the public always rooted for him as he never fired a shot or hurt anyone; his only victims being the banks that were causing so many people to lose their jobs and homes . . .
Blending vast research with vivid imagination, Pulitzer Prize winner J.R. Moehringer brings Willie Sutton blazing back to life with Sutton, a poignant, comic, fast-paced, and fact-studded story of economic pain that feels eerily modern, and of a doomed love that is forever timeless.
"What Hilary Mantel did for Thomas Cromwell and Paula McLain for Hadley Hemingway, Moehringer does for bank robber Willie Sutton in this fascinating biographical novel of America's most successful bank robber." -- Newsday
