About this listen
It’s the late 1970s, a time when Oklahomans learn first-hand the meaning of the term serial killer...
Small-town police chief Emmett Hardy sets out with a simple goal—find the family of a young woman who died years earlier at the hands of one of his officers. But when a friend helping with the search is murdered, Emmett’s task grows deadly. As he digs to find both the young woman’s family and the killer of his friend, he uncovers a twisted family saga rife with incest, abuse, and political corruption—a legacy of generational sin with roots reaching deep into the prairie soil.
Torn between pursuing justice and preserving his own hide, Hardy navigates a labyrinth of lies, a compromised legal system, and his own haunted conscience. What starts out as a simple goal leads to a reckoning with the past—his own, and his state’s.
Gritty, atmospheric, and laced with pitch-black humor, Somebody, Sometime is a slow-burn crime noir that peels back the layers of small-town culture to expose the rot beneath. For fans of Daniel Woodrell, Attica Locke, and James Lee Burke, this is Southern Gothic with a badge ... and a bottle of bourbon.
