Macbeth: William Shakespeare'S Macbeth Retold: A Novel (Hogarth Shakespeare)

A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF 2018 ShakespeareÆs dark and tragic play retold in a heart-pounding New York Times bestselling thriller from the author of The Snowman and The Thirst. Set in the 1970s in a run-down, rainy industrial town, Jo Nesbo's Macbeth centers around a police force struggling to shed an incessant drug problem. Duncan, chief of police, is idealistic and visionary, a dream to the townspeople but a nightmare for criminals. The drug trade is ruled by two drug lords, one of whomùa master of manipulation named Hecateùhas connections with the highest in power, and plans to use them to get his way. HecateÆs plot hinges on steadily, insidiously manipulating Inspector Macbeth: the head of SWAT and a man already susceptible to violent and paranoid tendencies. What follows is an unputdownable story of love and guilt, political ambition, and greed for more, exploring the darkest corners of human nature, and the aspirations of the criminal mind.
