The Last Policeman is a 2012 American science fiction mystery novel by Ben H. Winters. It follows a police detective in New Hampshire as he investigates a suicide he believes was really a murder. His efforts are complicated by the social, political and economic effects of preparations for, and anticipation of, an asteroid impact six months in the future.
Winters describes the work as an "existential detective novel", turning on the question of why people do things in spite of their long-term unimportance. He consulted with experts not only in astronomy and police techniques but psychology and economics. The book was well received by critics, and won the 2012 Edgar Award in the category Best Paperback Original.[2] Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura has optioned it for a possible television series.[3] It is the first in a trilogy; Winters published Countdown City, the second volume, in mid-2013.[4]World of Trouble, the final Last Policeman novel, was released in July 2014.
