Čas se krátí – Winters Ben H. (2015)

ONLY 77 DAYS REMAIN before the asteroid collides with Earth. The U.S. Department of Justice has put Henry Palace and the other detectives out of service. Henry's days of investigating criminal cases are numbered – but only until an old acquaintance asks for his help in searching for her missing husband. Brett Cavatone has vanished without a trace. An easy task in a world without phones, cars, or the means to find out if someone has gone after their dreams or simply disappeared. As chaos in society escalates, Henry pieces together the few clues he finds. His search takes him from a university campus converted into a fortress of anarchists to a crumbling coastal landscape, where anti-immigration militias repel refugees from the 'impact zone.' Time is running out; the second book in the Last Policeman trilogy offers a fascinating detective story set on the brink of apocalypse – and once again, Henry Palace faces questions that go beyond identifying the perpetrator. What do we owe each other as human beings? And what does it mean to be civilized when civilization is collapsing all around us? BEN H. WINTERS won the Edgar Award for the book The Last Policeman and the Philip K. Dick Memorial Award for its sequel, Countdown.
