Captivating . . . In the rough neighborhood that Ms. Boyce—a retired Atlanta police officer—depicts with heartbroken affection, a loving partner may also be violent, and “youth” is rarely a synonym for “innocence.” . . . “You have to be mighty careful how you unravel a mystery,” a wise neighborhood woman warns Salt. “You go pulling one thing and we all feel a tug. We’re all bound together.” And bound up right with them is Salt, who worries over all these citizens as if they were her own family, because the oath she swore to protect and defend was a sacred one.
The Wall Street Journal
From author Trudy Nan Boyce, whose police procedural debut was hailed as "authentic" (NYTBR) and "exceptional" (Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel), returns with a stunning prequel to the Detective Salt series, the story behind the case that earned Salt her promotion to homicide.
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.
