First sentence: "Fucking old queen!" MID-MORNING in the Turk's Head, in London's Belgravia, the quiet hour before the arrival of the lunchtime clientele, when only the idle and the alcoholic are about, and the smell of polish and air-freshener briefly dominates the fug of stale beer and stubbed cigarettes.
