When a world-renowned forensic anthropologist journeys to Winchester, Wyoming, to examine the long-dead remains of a woman who claimed to be Etta Place-the Old West's most mysterious and legendary female outlaw-he's not expecting to find a man's headless corpse in her crypt. The grisly discovery plunges him and Jefferson Morgan-the editor of the weekly Winchester Bullet-into a shadowy and deadly world of satellite-savvy highway pirates, rural meth labs, computer hackers, and old-fashioned corruption. And they might not survive the fall.
