EVERY MOTHER'S NIGHTMARE. The Killing of James Bulger.

Paperback. More than any other 'recent' crime, the killing of 2yr. old James Bulger shocked and horrified all those who witnessed its unfolding on security camera footage. The discovery that the killers were but boys themselves forced a national self-examination: what kind of society could breed such a monstrous act? In this book, the author, a Liverpool-based reporter, tells the story of this unthinkable crime and its aftermath. He asks the questions, 'How did it happen?' 'And how can we make sure it will never happen again?'. Based on exclusive interviews with the Bulger family and many others involved with the case, the author writes a sensitive and thought-provoking account of one of the most heartbreaking tragedies to hit Britain in the 1990s. Illus. 291pp. p/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. With lightly browned pp., tiny green 'dot' sticker to sp. o/w Vg+ with no creasing to covers.
