PUNISHMENT
A new and compelling novel from the Giller Prize-winning journalist.
Tony Breau is a retired prison corrections officer. After a long career dealing with hardened criminals, he has retired early and returned to his birthplace to live a simpler life.
When a young girl is found dead in the home of a previously convicted criminal, Tony gets unwillingly pulled into the court proceedings. Caught between his lifelong commitment to law and order, his "professional" acquaintance with the accused, and a secret they both share, Tony' s moral compass is tested to the extreme.
In his Scotiabank Giller Prize-winning style, MacIntyre explores the mess of regrets and emotions that can befall us all in times of trouble. The result is a slow build to a monumental swirl of murder, violence, justice, vengeance and love. It is masterful storytelling at its very best.
LINDEN MACINTYRE is one of Canada's most distinguished broadcast journalists. The winner of multiple Gemini Awards, he is the co-host of CBC Television's the fifth estate and has been involved in the production of documentaries and stories from all over the world. He is the author of five previous books, including his first novel, The Long Stretch, and a childhood memoir, Causeway, both of which were critically acclaimed.

It was followed by Why Men Lie, the final book in his Cape Breton trilogy. MacIntyre was born in St. Lawrence, Newfoundland, and grew up in Port Hastings, Cape Breton. He now lives in Toronto.
