Mystery
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 “whodunit.” 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?
