  'It was though God had sent it to me,' Meg said to her sister Sylvia, about her first encounter with Ahmad. 'More like the devil,' Sylvia had thought but not said. Francis King's entertaining new novel looks at the havoc wrought when a young Egyptian - an illegal immigrant - finds himself in London. Ahmad leads a double life, befriending and lodging with an elderly woman who suffers from MS; while at the same time throwing himself onto the London gay scene. Jealousy looms when he begins a relationship with a gay protector - and is arrested because of his illegal status.
