A big 2016 award winner. If you loved The Underground Railroad and want another novel in the same spirit, this is your answer. In this alternative history, Winters imagines a world where life is very much as we know it now, with one major exception: the Civil War never occurred.

From the author of Underground Airlines, which my husband loved. John Green says, "[The] weird, beautiful, unapologetically apocalyptic Last Policeman trilogy is one of my favorite mystery series." Winner of the 2013 Edgar Award Winner.
