Respected Kidney specialist, Malcolm Christian, has spent years intrigued by "salt," a substance—long imbued with deep medical, mystical and religious significance. When a deranged killer embarks on a ritualistic series of murders by salt injection, teasing the authorities with a trail of cryptic, salt-related clues, Dr. Christian must draw on his knowledge of the substance's natural and symbolic properties to beat the killer at his own game.
But matters of salt are never simple—and neither is being a Black man in a White man's world. Christian must match wits with a bigoted NYPD detective, dodge hospital higher-ups with their own axes to grind, and even join the killer in a dangerous covenant of salt to stop the killing. Can Dr. Christian solve this riddle of this divine and deadly substance—or is he doomed to become its next victim?
