If You Like Ben H. Winters Books, You’ll Love…
The Last Policeman is the first book in the trilogy of the same name. The book follows Detective Hank Palace as there is an asteroid heading towards Earth that threatens to wipe out all life. The world is in a terrible place, a pre-apocalypse, with crops dying and people walking out of their jobs. Not Hank though, he’s investigating a death that everyone thinks is a suicide. Nobody cares except for Hank and he won’t stop until he solves the case.
One of Winters’ more recent outputs is Golden State. This book covers the strange alternate society that values truth and law above all else. Laszlo Ratesic is a veteran of the Speculative Service, who lives in the Golden State. The Golden State is where people who felt a certain way retreated to as truth eroded and lies made public life impossible. The worst crime in Golden State is contradicting the truth and it’s Laz’s job to stop those crimes. As a member of the Speculative Service he is one of the few who is allowed to harbor untruths, but in his work he’ll come to realize that the Golden State isn’t all that it seems.
