Chain of Salt and Water — Tim Sabados

When Anthony and Lianna happen to meet at their professor's lab to learn about his cure for AIDS they are unknowingly thrust into their own mission filled with unforeseen pitfalls, crises and death. With a killer pursuing, they must rely on each other to save the cure and help those they care about evade the unseen evil that surrounds each of them. As each person pursues their own itinerary it becomes impossible to know who's trustworthy and who hides true evil. Like walking over cracked ice, the farther they venture, the more tragedy lurks and the greater the stakes become. As everyone's lives crisscross and intertwine they are all pulled deeper and deeper into the jaws of destiny. And just like the journey down the dank stairwell of Anthony's nightmare many of them will discover there are places from which it's impossible to return.
