He's an international number one bestseller and his books are published in 50 languages, selling over 60 million copies around the world.

Reviews

Majestically satisfying...a deliciously oppressive page-turner
*Guardian*

Immensely enjoyable and gloriously dark... He has accomplished that toughest of literary feats: putting his own unmistakable mark on one of Shakespeare's most celebrated plays
*Daily Express*

Inventive and deeply satisfying... a dark but ultimately hopeful Macbeth, one suited to our own troubled times
*New York Times Book Review*

Nesbo makes excellent use of all the atmosphere of his genre, and the stakes at play are every bit as convincing as those in the original... This is Nesbo doing what he's good at
*Independent*

Macbeth as a SWAT team leader. His wife as a former prostitute. The three witches as drug dealers. It's Shakespeare's darkest tale -- reimagined by the king of Nordic noir
