What they're saying

Daily Express… Carnival For The Dead is a reminder that we are in the hands of one of the most accomplished crime writers in this country.

Tess Gerritsen… Intricately plotted and gorgeously written, The Fallen Angel weaves a spell that will entrap you until the final page. 

Peter James… Hewson is one of our finest crime writers.  Absorbing, intelligent, and with a staggeringly vivid sense of place.  No author has ever brought Rome so alive for me — nor made it seem so sinister.

Linwood Barclay on The Blue Demon… Packs more twists and action into its brilliantly plotted pages than half a dozen other thrillers combined.  

Jeffery Deaver…Hewson is a daunting talent — a writer who is a master stylist. 

Steve Berry…David Hewson is one of the finest thriller writers working today. A born stylist.

Douglas Preston, author of The Monster of Florence… One of my all-time favorite fictional detectives is David Hewson’s Nic Costa.

Lee Child… (Dante’s Numbers)…is easily the best yet in a really terrific series.

Macbeth: A Novel

Scotland in the eleventh century. Clans struggle against one another. Foreign marauders try to steal what land and property and people they can.

A figure rises from the battles: Macbeth, Lord of Moray. A brave man. A loyal servant of the Scottish Crown. But after one more battle where Duncan, the King, is absent, Macbeth mets three witches and finds he’s tempted by the idea of taking the throne of Scotland for himself.

Shakespeare’s original is vividly, unforgettably reimagined in this audio novel narrated by that great Scottish actor Alan Cumming, written by David Hewson and A.J. Hartley, Professor of Shakespeare at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

A stunning reinterpretation of Shakespeare’s original, this is Macbeth as never heard before.
