In 1910, a murder took place near the Union Pacific roundhouse in Evanston, Wyoming. I’ve been researching the details of the crime for more than five years and have uncovered some crucial background information on the murder victim and the man hanged for his killing. I recently made a trip to the roundhouse to try and pinpoint the exact location of the murder and it was like stepping back in time. A portion of the roundhouse has been beautifully restored, but the area where the train engines had to be taken for repairs as well as the spot where the engines were turned around on the track still stands in all its original glory. The man who paid the ultimate price for the felony didn’t act alone. Readers will have to wait until next year to find out what happened at the roundhouse and who was involved. It was an Old West mystery I was pleased to investigate. Playing for Time: The Death Row All Stars will be released in 2014 by Globe Pequot Press.
