Face to Face: Finding Justice for My Murdered Twin Brother

by Nick Dawson

When his identical twin brother Simon was kicked to death, all Nick Dawson felt for the killers was hatred.

Struggling in a world where his mirror image had vanished, he came to realise there was only one way to stop the torture—acceptance. Travelling to the absolute limits of personal darkness, Nick came face to face with one of his brother's killers.

Now a champion of restorative justice, Nick heads behind bars, asking hardened criminals to change, to think of their victims, to make amends.

In Face to Face he takes us with him on a journey into this hidden and unpredictable world.

A heartbreaking account of a twins life after losing their twin brother. Parts of this story were hard to read, the murder was truly barbaric. As a twin myself, i felt every word that Nick said. Thank you Nick for sharing yours and Simon's story
