The first in a trilogy, The Last Policeman offers a mystery set on the brink of an apocalypse. 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. People all over the world are walking off the job-but not Hank Palace.

The economy spirals downward while crops rot in the fields. The Last Policeman presents a fascinating portrait of a pre-apocalyptic United States. Ben chatted with librarians about his gripping new novel, The Last Policeman which is the first book in an end-of-the-world trilogy. Winters join us at Library Journal’s The Digital Shift: Libraries, Ebooks and Beyond virtual conference.
