By the Time I Got to Bogotá

By: E.B. Harding

Narrated by: Carter Mann

By the Time I Got to Bogotá

When Elena disappears, months pass without explanation. Then her sister calls: Elena was in Bogotá. She left again. No one knows why.

Thomas travels to the city on his last night there, chasing an address he doesn’t fully understand. As the streets narrow and detour without warning, memory intrudes—particularly one phone call he let ring a little too long.

A private investigator by trade, Thomas has spent his life arriving after the fact, close to the truth but never inside it. In Bogotá, he is forced to confront the pattern that cost him more than he admitted.

By the Time I Got to Bogotá is a restrained literary noir about procrastination, moral timing, and the quiet ways relationships end—not in explosions, but in minutes that feel harmless until they aren’t.

For listeners who appreciate:

Psychological noir

Slow-burn literary fiction

Stories driven by atmosphere and interior conflict

Ambiguous, inevitable endings

This is not a thriller.

It’s a reckoning.
