In the heart of the low country, where fog creeps like a whisper and secrets rot beneath the reeds, a sadistic killer stalks the salt marshes. Locals call him The Saltman—a ghost, a myth, a nightmare. But when mutilated bodies begin washing ashore, it becomes clear he's terrifyingly real.

Haunted by a past he can't outrun, former detective Eli Archer returns to his childhood hometown only to be pulled into a series of brutal murders that echo a tragedy from his own youth. As Eli digs deeper, he uncovers a dark web of lies, corruption, and psychological torment rooted deep in the town's blood-soaked soil.

But the closer he gets to the truth, the more he realizes... the real monster may not be hiding in the marsh.

It may be inside him.

Dark, atmospheric, and twisted to the core, Salt in the Wound is a psychological thriller that will claw into your mind and leave you breathless long after the final page.
