About this listen

 When the unimaginable happens not once, but twice, in the same isolated ranching community, its dazed people feel a cloud settling over their towns and backroads. After time passes and questions deepen, a newspaper crime reporter returns home to meet up with a homicide detective and a pair of songwriters to make sense of what took place here. He learns that the shadows of the past bleed into crimes of the present.2023 True Crime
