Macbeth

In a decaying, rain-soaked industrial town in the 1970s, Inspector Macbeth is the fiercely capable head of the police SWAT unit — until a drug lord named Hecate plants a prophecy in his ear and his ambitious lover, Lady, who runs the Inverness Casino, presses him toward murder. What begins with the killing of the honest Chief Commissioner Duncan spirals into paranoia, addiction, and slaughter as Macbeth claws his way to the top and learns what it costs to stay there. Jo Nesbø reimagines Shakespeare's tragedy as a brutal noir for the Hogarth Shakespeare series.
