Set in the 1970s in a run-down, rainy industrial town, Jo Nesbo's Macbethcenters 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.
Hierdie is Koos Kombuis se eerste gedrukte digbundel in meer as twintig jaar.
Hy is van plan om enkele van die gedigte in hierdie bundel te toonset en dit dan, as promosie vir die bundel, te sing by die talle eenmanskonserte wat hy gedurig in Suid-Afrika doen. Die bundel is lig en humoristies, met ‘n subtiele geestelike element.
Toeganklike poësie vir lesers in alle belangstellingsvelde.
