Zero by Jess Walter

A New York City cop suffering memory blackouts after the September 11 attacks stumbles through missing hours, covert assignments, and contradictory clues that may implicate him in a shadowy investigation. As he navigates privatized security schemes, media spectacle, and strained relationships, his fractured perspective becomes a darkly comic examination of trauma, identity, and the bewildering reshaping of a nation.
