A rather disturbing story with a none-too-happy ending. A homeless teenager busking in London is chloroformed and bundled into a van by a man pretending to be blind. On waking, he finds himself in a damp basement of some sort with six bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom and a lift. We as the reader are left realising at the same time as him what has happened and what is happening - and very probably what will happen to him. Over the course of the next couple of days, five other people are abandoned in the bunker, and it is the start of psychological games by their abductor to see who will last the longest - if any. Have something happy to hand to read when you've finished this!
