Fort Vasquez, near Platteville, Colorado, 35 miles northeast of Denver, was built in 1835 as a fur trading post
for mountain men and Native Americans,mostly Cheyenne and Arapahoe tribes. The post never made a profit during its six years in business. The fort was restored by the Work Progress Administrution (WPA) in the 1930s and was turned over to the Colorado Historical Society in 1958.
Fort Vasquez is one of the many sites the author visited in researching Murder in the Rockies.
Excerpt from Two Miles High and Six Feet Under
“Yes, I understand," Coyle said. "Vendors display their products frozen in blocks of ice. In this stall the fish market vendor features frozen fish in blocks of ice, next stall, bottles of beer in blocks of ice, and in the corner is… is a real human being in a block of ice!"
Doc James stood over Coyle and spoke softly in a grandfatherly manner, “Now you see why we wanted to hire more than a mere accountant to audit our books, Mr. Coyle. We turned to you, an attorney with a flair for investigations to help us determine if we have had money embezzled and of course, ascertain what happened to poor Burton Poindexter over in the corner. Some people say it was an accident. They say he got drunk and fell into the pond and froze there until some macabre jokesters chipped him out and placed him here in the Ice Palace. I have a feeling there is more to it than that. Poindexter was Assistant County Clerk in charge of the Lake County Treasury Department.”
Coyle, having recovered from his initial shock, stood up and placed himself in a position facing away from the gruesome display.
