The Sleep of Reason by David James Smith

Written with access to documentary evidence, this book tells of the murder of toddler James Bulger by two ten-year-old boys. The murderers were captured on video leading their victim away from his mother and out of the shopping mall, to be killed shortly afterwards beside a railway line.
