"Sarah 'Salt' Alt started out as a beat cop in Atlanta's poorest, most violent housing project, The Homes. It is here that she meets the cast of misfits and criminals that will have a profound impact on her later cases: Man-Man, the leader of the local gang, on his way to better places; street dealer Lil D and his family; and Sister Connelly, old and observant, the matriarch of the neighborhood. Salt's closest lifeline, as a lone patrolwoman, is her friend and colleague Pepper, on his own beat nearby. And when a murder in The Homes brings detectives to the scene, Salt draws closer to Detective Wills, initiating a romance complicated by their positions on the force. When Salt is shot and sustains a head injury during a routine traffic stop, the resulting visions begin leading her toward answers in the case that earns Salt her promotion to Homicide. This is the tale of a woman who solves crimes through a combination of keen observance, grunt work, and pure gut instinct; this is the making of Detective Salt"--. Summary from the book jacket.
