Hold the Salt

Evil wears many faces . . .

A series of grisly murders has struck Chicago. The victims have nothing in common but the strange circumstances of their deaths - surrounded by occult elements that baffle seasoned homicide detective Lt. Jack Daniels. She needs an expert, and she needs one fast.

Cassandra Salter has a boyfriend, a girlfriend, an obnoxious family, and two poorly paying jobs as an adjunct professor of religion. Only in town for a funeral, she is about to leave when she gets drawn into the case. Despite her best efforts at deciphering the deadly ritual scenes, the perpetrators remain shadowy figures out of reach. But even though she can’t see them, they have seen her . . . and the case is about to become a lot more personal.

Hold the Salt is a 15,000 word novella pairing Joe Konrath’s popular character Lt. Jacqueline “Jack” Daniels with Macaulay C. Hunter’s Cassandra Salter in a race against the clock. And the odds are strong that they won’t win.
