The Double Human, by James O'Neal
There was a LOT going on in this book. Set in an apocalyptic near-future Florida, the Unified Police Force is the last vestige of control within what is left of the USA, while anarchy basically reigns in the Miami Quarantine Zone. Manhattan has been destroyed, as has Tehran, wars flourish across the world, but mostly the book follows one officer, and his attempt to hunt down a serial killer. Talking dogs, incoming aliens, and 2 rival groups of Eastern European alternate hominids who live, seemingly, forever, only complicated what was already a pretty lively and crowded plot. It was a page turner, but left about a thousand loose ends, which I hope will be tied up in the inevitable sequels.
