Cape Perdido by Marcia Muller
3.0
The book was written in lots of short chapters or sections. Each section was titled with a character's name as that chapter was from their perspective.
The story is about the struggle between several groups in a small town in northern California. One group supports a company that wants to pump water out of a river and take it to southern California. The other group opposes them. Outsiders are brought in, violence erupts and some of the main characters are dealing with an incident from many years ago. One of the outsiders goes missing and the hunt is on for him and the reason behind his disappearance. This leads to others being in danger and some ugly truths being revealed.
