Publisher Description
Critically acclaimed author Ben H. Winters delivers this explosive final installment in the Edgar Award winning Last Policeman series. With the doomsday asteroid looming, Detective Hank Palace has found sanctuary in the woods of New England, secure in a well-stocked safe house with other onetime members of the Concord police force. But with time ticking away before the asteroid makes landfall, Hank's safety is only relative, and his only relative—his sister Nico—isn't safe. Soon, it's clear that there's more than one earth-shattering revelation on the horizon, and it's up to Hank to solve the puzzle before time runs out…for everyone.

“The third audiobook in the Last
Policeman trilogy may not be the place to start, but Peter Berkrot’s dependable
narration makes the going a lot easier…Berkrot excels at portraying Palace’s
insightful thinking as well as the dry humor that courses through the book.
He’s adept at portraying the Amish man who brings peace to Hank on what is
supposed to be the final day. This audio is compelling enough to inspire
listeners to backtrack to Berkrot’s performances of Winters’s previous
offerings.”
