#SuspenseMonday
At the beginning of her career, Sarah "Salt" Alt was 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. A lone patrolwoman, Salt's
closest lifeline 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 makes her career.
This is the tale of a woman who solves crimes through a
combination of keen observation, grunt work, and pure gut
instinct; this is the making of Detective Salt.
