{"product_id":"the-bishops-man-paperback-24760","title":"The Bishop's Man (paperback)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Bishop's Man is an unforgettable and complex character study of a deeply conflicted man at the precipice of his life. Father Duncan MacAskill has spent much of his career acting as his bishop's clean-up man. Known as the Exorcist, Father MacAskill makes priests disappear, shifting anyone accused of sex abuse, scandal, or other improprieties to remote locations. Father MacAskill tells his story, shifting in time and place from the recent past to his exorcisms of the '80s and back to his exile in Honduras in the '70s, where he was sent after accusing the bishop's mentor of molestation. In the present day, Father MacAskill serves as the parish priest of Creignish, the small Irish town where he grew up. The bishop gave him this easy assignment to keep him away from lawyers looking into the coverups. Rather isolated there, Father MacAskill has plenty of time for reflection and slowly comes to understand the havoc his transferred predatory priests have wreaked upon these communities. As the priest confronts his role in this web of scandals, he must also exorcise his own demons in this engrossing, lyrical page-turner.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nova Scotia School Book Bureau","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43663639838780,"sku":null,"price":16.1,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/3677\/6508\/files\/9780735273276.jpg?v=1762967163","url":"https:\/\/nssbb.ednet.ns.ca\/fr\/products\/the-bishops-man-paperback-24760","provider":"Nova Scotia School Book Bureau","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
