The asteroid is coming, and the end is days away. Detective Hank Palace has found temporary refuge in a secluded New England safe house, surrounded by former colleagues from the Concord police force and enough supplies to wait out the final moments. But safety means little when his sister Nico is still out there—and in danger.
With time running out, Hank leaves the relative security of the woods to track her down. His search takes him through a collapsing world where survival instincts clash with lingering humanity, and where the truth he uncovers may be more devastating than the asteroid itself.
In World of Trouble, Ben H. Winters delivers a tense, emotional conclusion to the Edgar Award–winning Last Policeman trilogy.
