Solving crimes while the whole world has an existential crisis. Who knew these two things would go so well together? Former Detective Henry Palace is still an interesting character. Though he’s officially retired from the force, being an officer of the law is pretty much all he knows how to do. It...
He's not going to stop talking about his mustache. I admit it, the cover model WITHOUT a mustache had given me hope. It's intrusive because pretty much no one ever notices their own little mannerisms, only other peoples. I don't say anything about it when I touch my face, or put my hair over my shou...
Mr. Winters has a new book out this summer receiving a lot of attention - "Underground Airlines". When I read the review I realized I had not completed his 'The Last Policeman' series. The setup is simple. An asteroid will hit earth in 7 months. There is no stopping it. Hank Palace is a Policeman ...
NOTE: Review of all three books. Recently promoted and rather young, Hank Palace is the only detective still solving cases (officially and unofficially) since asteroid 2011GV1 was discovered to be on a collision course with Earth. These novels present an interesting depiction of the U.S.A before...
“Countdown City” continues on from “The Last Policeman” where we were introduced to Hank Palace, a beat cop hastily promoted to detective, a job he loves and pursues with the obsessional focus of the borderline autistic, but which his lack of insight into people and their motivations makes him ill-e...

A mortgage, a wedding vow, a promise to obey th...

It's not easy to blend in a dystopic look at the future with a solid police story, but Winters has a lot of talent as the previous book fully demonstrated (See my review of The Last Policeman).The plot this time round is darker, and though we still think of Hank Palace as a heroic and solid characte...
