About
"In 1941, two Prince Edward Island men were hanged for the murder of a Charlottetown shopkeeper. The two convicted met their deaths still vowing that a third man had committed the murder." "Told from the compelling viewpoint of its central character, newspaperman Hugh Michael "Mickey" Casey,The Betrayer takes the reader down dark corridors of Charlottetown's recent past to trace the origins of a murderer and the emotional aftermath of a brutal act. Mickey reflects on his life with equal measures of intelligence and delusion, from his childhood in a Charlottetown orphanage, through the tough streets of the city's West End, to a career as a well-read newspaperman. He recounts his long friendship with the streetwise Frankie Hanlan, his rivalry with the brutish Billy Williams, his enduring love for the formidable Emily Kate Ryan and his shifting allegiance to a possible God - relationships all tainted by his knowledge of himself as a murderer, a dissembler, a betrayer."--BOOK JACKET.
