Ten years have passed since the passing of the charismatic Donald Sully Sullivan, and the town of North Bath is undergoing a significant transformation as it is being engulfed by its much wealthier neighbor, Schuyler Springs. Peter, Sully's son, continues to grapple with his father's immense legacy, as well as his complex relationship with his own son, Thomas. He ponders if he has been a different father to Thomas than Sully was to him. Meanwhile, the newly consolidated police department has fallen into the hands of Charice Bond, following the resignation of Doug Raymer, the former North Bath police chief and Charice's ex-boyfriend.

When a decomposing body turns up in the abandoned hotel situated between the two towns, Charice and Raymer are drawn together once again, and they are forced to confront their complicated attraction to one another. Across town, Ruth, Sully's married ex-lover, struggles to understand her granddaughter, Tina, and her growing obsession with Peter's other son, Will. Amidst the turmoil, the town's residents speculate on the identity of the unidentified body and wonder who among their number could have disappeared unnoticed.

Brimming with warmth, wisdom, and Russo's signature wry humor, Somebody's Fool is another classic from a modern master of storytelling.
