The Bishop's Man by Linden MacIntyre
Set against the backdrop of rural Nova Scotia, this gripping novel follows Father Duncan MacAskill, a Catholic priest known as the "fixer" for his ability to discreetly handle scandals within the church. Tasked with managing the fallout from a series of sexual abuse allegations, MacAskill is sent to a remote parish to lie low. As he grapples with his own past and the moral complexities of his role, he becomes entangled in the lives of the local community, leading to a profound personal crisis. The narrative delves into themes of guilt, redemption, and the struggle for truth within a deeply flawed institution.
