Review
"Towards the end I was reading at a gallop... It kept me intrigued until the very last pages. A heavily Gothic affair involving the mysterious suicide of a priest; a power-mad Tory MP; a sinister hidden laboratory; hints of child sexual abuse; and the legend of Everard Trevellyan, a medieval ogre who preyed on children and whose spirit still seems to be abroad in Father Snow's parish." -- Brandon Robshaw Independent on Sunday "Louis Buss's second novel does an awful lot of things that a good mystery novel should. He gets his leading character, his "investigator", in there fast and locks him down tight." -- Peter Arnott Glasgow Herald
