AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'“We’d been in the house two weeks when Tommy pulled the first bones from the garden.”

'When Cassie Baker buys the house on Cedar Street, it’s partly because it reminds her of the house she grew up in in the ‘80s. It reminds her of happier times, when her Mom was still alive, before the cancer had taken her. It seems like the perfect place to raise her baby boy, Sam.

'That is, until a friend unearths the remains of a dog, buried in a shallow grave in the backyard.

'After the bones come the cockroaches…'
