This is the story of Gabriel Lightfoot, a chef working in a big London hotel. He is planning to open a restaurant with a businessman and a politician and to marry his girlfriend Charlie. Then he meets an illegal immigrant Lena and takes her into his home and his life begins to unravel. He discovers an illegal employment ring for migrants and tries to bust it. He has a nervous breakdown really and gives up on his job, his restaurants etc. It was a dark story and the characters were pretty awful but the detail of Ali’s observation is incredible.. 3 stars
