| The Betrayer |
| Fiction by Michael Hennessey |
Inspired by the last murder in Prince Edward Island for which
capital punishment was exacted - and the theory that a third
man was involved in the crime - The Betrayer conjures the
fictional life of this "third man" in an intimate psychological
profile of a man who, quite literally, gets away with murder.
With a deft hand, Hennessey takes us down the darker streets
of mid-20th century Charlottetown, capturing the city's gritty
west end with the brush strokes of someone who has lived it.
He also takes us down into the darkest recesses of the human
spirit, into the mind and soul of a murderer.
