My James

This Sunday Times top ten bestseller is a heartfelt account of his son's murder and his fight for justice by Ralph Bulger.

From his deeply personal perspective of his son's tragic murder to his relentless fight for justice, Ralph Bulger's poignant memoir, My James, delves into one family's harrowing journey following an incomprehensible act of violence. This heart-rending narrative, a top ten Sunday Times bestseller, masterfully communicates the profound sorrow of losing a child and the desperate pursuit for justice that followed. The chilling image of innocent James Bulger's trusting hand held by ten-year-old Jon Venables - a moment captured on security cameras before the horror unfolded - still reverberates across the nation. Ralph Bulger's account takes readers through his painful journey, marked by personal loss, a strained marriage, and an enduring quest for justice against the backdrop of an unimaginable evil. In My James, Bulger pays tribute to his son - a bright, joyful boy whose untimely death never dimmed his memory.
