The Last Policeman by Ben H. Winters
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Just finished reading this book. It poses the ultimate question: what would you do if you knew the world was ending in six months? Detective Henry Palace is called to the scene of a supposed suicide. Against policy, he wants to investigate the death as a possible homicide. Unable to stop investigating what appears to be an insurance fraud scam, he discovers that no one is telling the truth and nothing is what it seems. And who cares anyway?

"Pre-apocalyptic" may be a new term, but it's not a new idea.  Lucifer's Hammer (1985) by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle begins with the knowledge of a coming comet hit on Earth and it's affect on society.  If you like this genre at all, you should go back and read this.
