The Last Policeman: A Novel (The Last Policeman Trilogy)

€œA genre-defying blend of crime writing and science fiction.€ €“Alexandra Alter, The New York Times

Winner of the 2013 Edgar Award Winner for Best Paperback Original!

What€s the point in solving murders if we€re all going to die soon, anyway?
 
Detective Hank Palace has faced this question ever since asteroid 2011GV1 hovered into view. There€s no chance left. No hope. Just six precious months until impact.
 
The Last Policeman presents a fascinating portrait of a pre-apocalyptic United States. The economy spirals downward while crops rot in the fields. Churches and synagogues are packed. People all over the world are walking off the job€"but not Hank Palace. He€s investigating a death by hanging in a city that sees a dozen suicides every week€"except this one feels suspicious, and Palace is the only cop who cares.
 
The first in a trilogy, The Last Policeman offers a mystery set on the brink of an apocalypse. As Palace€s investigation plays out under the shadow of 2011GV1, we€re confronted by hard questions way beyond €œwhodunit.€ What basis does civilization rest upon? What is life worth? What would any of us do, what would we really do, if our days were numbered?
