“It’s a hybrid dress/casual shoe made only by a small-time designer in Paris. They’re special order and pretty expensive. Not many of them around.”
Men in Oklahoma didn’t wear expensive designer shoes from Paris. Especially not those in Good Hope. “Can you trace it to the designer and find out who bought them?”
“If I had the actual shoe, yeah. I don’t even have a full print.”
“Right.” Snipers and serial killers weren’t known for their taste in expensive Parisian footwear. “It probably doesn’t belong to our killer anyway. An investor maybe looking to revive the subdivision or a visitor took a stroll and left it behind.”
“One more thing, that ghost file I found on your mission?”

“I wanted to come myself once I saw the mention of that extra passenger you brought back on your mission to rescue Irish, but you know Beatrice. She won’t let me out of her sight. So heads up. Zeb’s on your trail.”
