The Suited Freeman

Set in London in the days leading up to the financial crisis, The Suited Freeman is the story of a share trader who gives up everything to set an idea in motion that had burned inside him for years. It's a dark and light serious comedy about money, work, loyalty to an idea and maybe more.

The Suited Freeman is the debut novel from Cal Danat, a writer of fiction. If you're looking for thinly-veiled accounts of a writer's social circle, this is probably not the book for you. However, if you're after contemporary fiction with an eye to the past, present and future then The Suited Freeman may well be worth your time. It's set in London against the backdrop of an impending financial crisis, but it's really about society, capitalism, friendship, humour in the face of despair and a whole lot of other things.
