Summary
Father Duncan MacAskill is called The Exorcist, for at his bishop's bidding he drives out priests who molest children to discreet clinics or far-off parishes. When MacAskill is sent to a rural parish in his native Cape Breton, he encounters… a troubled young man who appears to be the victim of a notorious priest. MacAskill, struggling with his own demons, is determined to help this man, regardless of the consequences for the church. Strong language and some descriptions of sex and violence. Winner of the 2009 Scotiabank Giller Prize. 2009.
