It is an eerie, lonely, isolated place, far removed from Shane''s earlier life. Living in a small caravan in the deserted school grounds adds to Shane''s feeling of vulnerability.
There is something disturbing about the unneighbourly Clarry Johnson, and something even more disturbing about his strange teenage daughter, Ellie, who pushes a pram with a doll in it up and down the dirt road outside the abandoned school. What has prompted Ellie to persist in this macabre, daily routine?

Reviewers say:
Cadaver Dog is suspenseful, gripping and tense throughout and the writer''s vivid descriptions transfer the reader to the scene of the crime.
