What is the narrator point of view in the novel, Mississippi Blood?

The majority of this story is told from the first-person point of view of Penn Cage, the son of Tom Cage. Penn’s narration of the story, being the son of Tom and having just lost his fiancée at the hands of the Double Eagles, is emotionally charged. He is strongly biased against the Double Eagles and would do anything to ensure that all of the members are brought to justice. Penn’s narration is told in the present tense as if he is telling the story as he experiences it. He does not narrate from after the trial is over, but instead as things are happening. For this reason, his reactions to the occurrences in the trial are sincere and in the moment.

Because there are parts of the story that Penn does not witness first hand, the author relies on a third person omniscient narrator to tell these parts of the story. Notice that these parts of the story are told in the past tense. It is as if Penn has narrated his story in the present tense and then the omniscient narrator has filled in the parts that Penn has missed after Penn’s story was written. This change in tense makes it clear that Penn has no knowledge of what is happening with other characters, like Snake and the members of the VK Motorcycle Club.
