Alfred Palmer-Ross was born with every advantage, but he has not been a success as Bishop of San Fernando. His 20 years there have been largely wasted, overshadowed by a fall from grace, known only to the Archbishop, which ruined what ought to have been a brilliant ecclesiastical career.

Product Description
The Bishop of San Fernando
From the Back Cover
RUNNER-UP FOR THE 1994 'SUNDAY EXPRESS' BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD
Alfred Palmer-Ross was born with every advantage, but he has not been a success as Bishop of San Fernando. Haunted by a fall from grace in his youth, he has spent the last twenty years in a sleepy backwater of Trinidad in guilty isolation. But the arrival of an ambitious priest and a secret visitor from the past forces the Bishop to confront the world he has been avoiding for so long ...
“Comparisons with Maugham and Greene come to mind – even with Conrad, their master ... I do not have the slightest hesitation in saying that David McLaurin is a new star in our literary firmament.”
A.N. WILSON, 'Evening Standard'
“McLaurin’s tale of corruption in a Trinidadian port combines a menacing gangster’s milieu with high-minded social questions of sin and redemption.”
SUNDAY TIMES
“McLaurin’s story is engaging because of his steady grip on the themes of guilt, retribution and evil. A fine first novel, 'The Bishop of San Fernando' paints a convincing portrait of an essentially good man who has drunk deep and long of a cocktail of self-pity and despair.”
