The world is ending. Detective Hank Palace is still on the clock.
In six months, an asteroid will strike Earth, and civilization is already unraveling. Crops rot, markets collapse, and despair hangs in the air. But when a man is found dead by hanging, Palace refuses to accept the obvious answer of suicide. He’s determined to find the truth, even as the world stops caring.
Each clue draws him deeper into a mystery that defies reason—and into a haunting search for meaning before the end comes.
Winner of the Edgar Award for Best Paperback Original, The Last Policeman by Ben H. Winters has earned acclaim from readers and authors alike, including John Green, who calls the trilogy “weird, beautiful, unapologetically apocalyptic.”
