Face
by Bob Carlton and Philip Whitchurch

Everyone wants something for nothing! Don’t you?

Face, our hero, does as he ducks and dives through Soho, expoiting anyone fooish enough to fall into his clutches!

When Face and his low life friends unearth a corrupt Government Minister, and a suitcase brimful of used notes, they hit upon the scam of the century… with hilarious results which would make even Del Boy and Rodney appear professional! And what’s more, Daper Dan the Hit Man is on their trial…
