Leonard Lawson was a respected professor of medieval art. He lived a
quiet life in a suburb of Liverpool with his grown-up daughter. As far
as anyone knew, he had no enemies. Louise Lawson watched her father die.
Before she blacked out, she saw his body mutilated and deformed, twisted
into a hellish parody of the artworks he loved. Investigating a killer
bringing medieval horror to Merseyside, DCI Eve Clay must overcome her
own demons to unpick the dark symbolism of the crime scene. A 50-year
silence has been broken--with a message written in blood.
