"Chris Kelsey hits another home-run with this fast-paced and enthralling mystery starring Emmett Hardy." -Sublime Book Review 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.
