Jo Nesbo is one of the world's bestselling crime writers. When commissioned to write a memoir about life on the road with his band, Di Derre, he instead came up with the plot for his first Harry Hole crime novel, The Bat. His books The Leopard, Phantom, Police, The Son, The Thirst, Macbeth and Knife have all since topped the Sunday Times charts. He's an international number one bestseller and his books are published in 50 languages, selling over 60 million copies around the world.Majestically satisfying...a deliciously oppressive page-turner

Nesbo has let his noirish imagination run riot... more than matches Shakespeare for moment-to-moment thrills
- Claire Allfree, 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
