American Spirits by Russell Banks
Three interlocking tales about the locals in a rural New York town, including two criminals who kidnap an elderly couple to blackmail their grandson and a man who is hounded on social media after selling his property to a stranger.
The stories are sad,
but it is a fast read and a good book.
