One of Father Snow's duties is to say Mass at Flamstead and he discovers that the ancient legends about Everard Trevellyan, the third Earl of Wodden, are still currently in the village. Monstrous in size, dissipated in morals, Everard is said to have preyed on the local children. Soon Father Snow has become convinced that there are good resons for the continuing currency of the legend, that something very sinister is happening at Flamstead. And furthermore , he has fallen in love...A compelling and atmospheric modern gothic novel, and a moving exploration of apriest's crisis of faith. THE OGRES LABORATORY is an immensely impressive achievement.

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)
