"He pulled his weapon from his holster and opened the chamber. After inserting one cartridge, he spun the cylinder, put it to his head and pulled the trigger." - DWI: Dying While Intoxicated.When does the law cease to serve justice? What action beyond the letter of the law is justified? When? By Whom? E.S. Kraay - best known for his three historical novels - explores new territory with his cop-thriller "DWI: Dying While Intoxicated."Harold Huck is a happily married man with two fine sons and a beautiful wife. In 1965, life in the Berkshire Hills of Western Massachusetts is grand, happy and carefree... By 1980, things have gone wrong, very wrong. One by one, his family falls victim to drunk drivers. 1966, oldest son Jimmy is victim to a hit and run, and the secret to the killer's identity is contained in a letter from Vietnam... 1979, youngest son George, a police officer 'just like his old man' dies in a head on collision in pursuit of a drunk driver... 1980, wife Eleanor finds no reason to live and commits suicide.Five years later, Harold's smoldering remorse ignites into a personal vendetta that stands a quiet community in Berkshire County on its head. A tragic and lonely man, Harold takes the law into his own hands to set things right. No one deserves to die at the hands of a drunk driver. When justice is blind, it cannot read the law. Nothing happens by chance. Luck always runs out. Local drunks Puggy Demerle and Eddie Kunzler have played the game for too many spins of the wheel. Sooner or later, your number comes up. Or does it?Harold Huck's justice is beyond the law, but he doesn't care."DWI: Dying While Intoxicated," a cop-thriller by E.S. Kraay.
