       DEDICATION

      With much love the author dedicates Two Faced to Tania, without whose support and encouragement it would never have seen the light of day. He also tips his titfer at the Bushwhacker for inspiration, and to Joseph Mellor, RIP, who should take the blame for his entire career. Special thanks go to Michael Fournaris and André Schlesinger.

      Life would be less pleasant without the love and friendship of: Julie, Danny, Robert, Jenna, Ciara, Terry, Lauren & TC, Ethan, Mick and Helen, Tommy and Claire, Paul and Sue, Lol Pryor, Colin and Kathryn, Dave and Lynda, Vic and Mandy, Kara and Jez, Pat Mancini, Garry and Julie Johnson, Sally Hand, Gerard Nicoletti, Wilf Pine, Spider Mike, Colin Butts, Ally Ross, Jill Print, Alan Lewis, Karin Secker, Conrad Chant, Margaret French, Joanna Burns, Kathy Gray, Colin Williams, Roel Middlebos, Skully, Jeff Turner, Jane Rumbold, Sandy Lane, Si Spanner, Dougie The Gold, Batty, Pete Way, Nellie, Scotch John, Jim and Sharon, Garry Hodges, Oxo, Tony Clayman, Andy Swallow, Panny and Gil, Barnet Mark, Watford John, Harry in Belfast, Captain Oi, Colin Blood, Frankie and Jill, Dudders, Steve Green, Clyde and Jayne, John King, Charlton Athletic Football Club, Trisha Harbord, my friend at the People and the Gonads, God bless ’em.

       PREFACE

      The first Harry Tyler novel, The Face, came out in the summer of 2001. It made two tabloid front pages, got me sacked from the Sun and inspired a campaign of support in the Guardian.

      I await the response to Two Faced with a mix of gleeful anticipation and sheer terror.
