The last Policeman

The last policeman / Ben Winters 316 pgs.

So what happens when the end of the world is no longer just a prediction but is actually going to happen?  The big bang is coming and I'm talking about a large asteroid that is going to hit earth.  You have 6 months left.  Lots of people quit their jobs and start working on their bucket list.  Many others kill themselves...suicides are rampant.  Some others pretty much ignore the coming doom and just keep doing their job.  Henry Palace is one of those guys.  He is a policeman recently promoted to detective and he is still out there wanting to solve crimes.  His last suicide seems fishy...he is SURE this is a murder, not a suicide and he won't rest until he finds the killer.  Most around him really aren't interested in doing the detail work, so many are killing themselves why not let this one fall into that group? Palace is a natural cop, he can't help but do his job.  Enjoyed the book and all the lines of thinking that come up when we are down to our last 6 months.
