The man has Alzheimer’s, and he was only visited by his social worker, Derek Ross, once a week. The girl and the boy are taken to hospital, and Quinn and Gislingham interview the man, William Harper, a former professor at Birmingham University. Then in the cellar they find a young girl, dirty and lying on a bare mattress, and next to her there is a two-year-old boy. When they break into the next-door house, they find an old man in the toilet, and he clearly has dementia. The police are called, and DS Gareth Quinn and DC Chris Gislingham get there. There is a crack that opens up in the next-door house, and when Mark Sexton, the owner, touches the wall, it gives way and a hole appears, and then he sees a face. The architect tells him that there is a problem in the cellar. This time the book starts with a rich man who has bought a big Victorian house in North Oxford and has workers on the property. This is the second book in the series featuring DI Fawley and his unit.
