Mystery
Whatโs the point in solving murders if weโre all going to die soon, anyway? Detective Hank Palace has faced this question ever since asteroid 2011GV1 hovered into view. Thereโs 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 jobโbut not Hank Palace. Heโs investigating a death by hanging in a city that sees a dozen suicides every weekโexcept 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 Palaceโs investigation plays out under the shadow of 2011GV1, weโre confronted by hard questions way beyond โwhodunit.โ 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?
