"The Last Policeman" received the 2013 Edgar Award for Best
Paperback Original--along with plenty of glowing reviews.
Now Detective Hank Palace returns in "Countdown City," the second
volume of the "Last Policeman "trilogy. There are just 77 days
before a deadly asteroid collides with Earth, and Detective Palace
is out of a job. With the Concord police force operating under the
auspices of the U.S. Justice Department, Hank's days of solving
crimes are over...until a woman from his past begs for help finding
her missing husband.
Brett Cavatone disappeared without a trace--an easy feat in a world
with no phones, no cars, and no way to tell whether someone's gone
"bucket list" or just "gone." With society falling to shambles,
Hank pieces together what few clues he can, on a search that leads
him from a college-campus-turned-anarchist-encampment to a
crumbling coastal landscape where anti-immigrant militia fend off
"impact zone" refugees.
"Countdown City" presents another fascinating mystery set on brink
of an apocalypse--and once again, Hank Palace confronts questions
way beyond "whodunit." "What do we as human beings owe to one
another? And what does it mean to be civilized when civilization is
collapsing all around you?"
