Three men search for happiness but discover relentless greed along the way. Lost in Tin Cup is a stand-alone novel that begins where Hang the Innocent ends. Samuel Plummer, the older brother of the disgraced sheriff, Henry Plummer, escapes being hanged by the Montana vigilantes and travels back to Nevada to start a new life with his new wife, Sandra, and his adopted son, Sam Henry. At Buckland Station, Samuel grows tired of working for his father-in-law and convinces Sandra they need a place of their own. After moving to Wyoming Territory, their lives are changed forever following several unfortunate setbacks and one unbearable loss. As Samual attempts to heal, he journeys to the gold and silver mines in Tin Cup, Colorado, hoping to find his runaway teenage son and four-year-old daughter. While he scours the area, he experiences the same lawlessness and mayhem he thought he had escaped years earlier when he left Montana Territory.
