What to expect
Random House presents the audiobook edition of Macbeth by Jo Nesbo, read by Derek Riddell.
He’s the best cop they’ve got.
When a drug bust turns into a bloodbath it’s up to Inspector Macbeth and his team to clean up the mess.
He’s also an ex-drug addict with a troubled past.
He’s rewarded for his success. Power. Money. Respect. They’re all within reach.
But a man like him won’t get to the top.
Plagued by hallucinations and paranoia, Macbeth starts to unravel. He’s convinced he won’t get what is rightfully his.
Unless he kills for it.

Critics Review
-
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

-
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
Mail on Sunday
-
One of the few crime writers today blessed with a bloodlust worthy of the Jacobeans...riveting
Daily Telegraph
-
Wonderfully atmospheric
Sunday Express
-
Nesbo has let his noirish imagination run riot... more than matches Shakespeare for moment-to-moment thrills
Metro
-
A gripping tale of vaulting ambition and proof that “blood will have blood”
Evening Standard
-
The fun comes from watching a crack storyteller put his noir stamp on one of Shakespeare's greatest tragedies... Nesbo manages the balancing act of being true to the original play without slighting his own interests as a writer: bleak settings, loyalty (or the lack thereof) among crooks, clever escapes from tight spots, the affinities between policemen and the criminals they chase
