With this exposé, the Boston Globe presents the single most comprehensive account of the cover-ups, hush money and manipulation used by the Catholic Church to keep its history of sexual abuse secret.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Threats, denials, cover-ups, payoffs, and ruined lives. The story of The Boston Globe's exhaustive investigation into sexual abuse cases in the local Roman Catholic church is both difficult to read and impossible to put down. The laundry list of abuses committed by the city’s clergymen against the vulnerable, poor, and weak is hard to comprehend. Just as gut-wrenching are the Church's attempts—led by former Archbishop of Boston Bernard Law—to silence hundreds of victims. Betrayal is a sobering read and a clarion call for robust journalism that can take on those who act as if they're above the law.
