In 2001, three students from a Minnesota Christian college were
killed by a drunk driver going the wrong way on a four-lane
highway. The beginning of this novel is based on that tragedy, and
though fiction, the story tells of the chilling reverberations of
this kind of crash. In the novel, the incident not only impacts the
families of the victims, but also the lives of the prosecutor,
defense attorney, judge and many others, perhaps, most remarkably,
the drunk driver. This leads to intrigue and suspense in the
courtroom, continues with twists and turns, and ends in a most
unexpected way. But for the Crash is thought provoking, compelling,
and original. Not incidentally, this novel could be used as a
textbook for prosecutors and defense attorneys working on DUI
felony cases. Author and Renaissance man George A.M. Heroux is a
lawyer, victim advocate, university instructor, musician, poet,
songwriter, actor, and author. He has written four books, six plays
and two screenplays that have been produced, four songs that have

newspapers. Heroux is the Executive Director/Attorney for Victim

victims of drunk driving and reckless driving crashes. He has a law
degree from Albany Law School (Union College) and an MBA from

observations. He lives in Springfield, Illinois.
