Book Overview

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

A heart-pounding new 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 whom--a master of manipulation named Hecate--has connections with the highest in power, and plans to use them to get his way.

Hecate's 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.

Unrelentingly Depressing

This is the most depressing book I have ever tried to read. I read about 1/3 and skipped to the last two chapters. There was never any positive character or story line. It is like entering a dark tunnel but there is no light at the end of the tunnel.
