Why can´t she say what she saw?
She watched her father die...

Leonard Lawson was a respected professor of medieval art. He lived a quiet life in a suburb of Liverpool with his grown-up daughter. He had no enemies.

Louise Lawson witnessed her father´s murder. Before she blacked out, she saw his body mutilated and deformed, twisted into a parody of the artworks he loved.
