Caught in Traffic — Susan Hart Snyder

Caught in Traffic is author Susan Hart Snyder's second excursion into Sydney Roberts's journey of self-discovery, bringing back many of the characters who populated Finding Harmony. This time, Sydney is in over her head because of a pair of shoes.

To be fair, Sydney didn't come to New York to be an expert on feet, but stare through a basement apartment's transom window long enough, and you get good at judging people by their choice of footwear. It's a way she passes the time while working from home as a copy editor.

One pair of feet worries Sydney -- feet that she suspects belong to a drug dealer. Dubbing her suspect Cork Feet, she discovers her hunch is right. Not only is Cork Feet a dealer, he is also involved in human trafficking.

Sydney comes to the attention of Cork Feet's cartel when her investigation gets a little too close. Even if she manages to get help, she knows that it may be too late. The cartel's reach is long and its members are determined to silence any potential threat. How's Sydney going to extract herself from this latest mess?
