The Last Policeman

The way he balances duty and personal morality in a collapsing world was compelling but also unsettling. How did others interpret his decisions?

The apocalyptic setting adds such a unique pressure to the mystery. I'm curious whether this idea came from current events or a desire to explore human nature in extreme circumstances.

The details about society's collapse and the police force's changes are so vivid. Was there a detailed outline, or did this evolve naturally through the writing process?
