Consider the notion that three true crimes converge in the Pumpkin Buttes region of Wyoming. One true crime involves three men who escape prison. Another involves two men recently charged with the illegal export of uranium from the United States to Russia. The third true crime involves the extraction of rare earth elements that are critical to technological advances in radar, cellular, and magnetic devices. When these merge into one crime in the Pumpkin Buttes, Mary MacIntosh and Sheriff Burgess are targets after Mac prosecuted the second crime in Sheridan, Wyoming. Burg informs Mac of what he has learned to be possibly the third crime, and when they team up to investigate this, there is a lot at stake for both the criminals and Mac and Burg. The Pumpkin Buttes are as remote as the Hole in the Wall in Wyoming, and most folks know that Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid were successful at hiding out there!
