Hands Across the Sea What happens when "real talk" cuts too close to the bone? In this gripping, character-driven saga, Hands Across the Sea pulls back the curtain on the inner workings of the Office of the Sheriff-an institution under pressure during a pivotal leadership transition. When longtime Sheriff Garrison Cottrell abruptly steps down, he leaves the Agency in the hands of an unexpected successor, Commander Brendan Callaghan. As Callaghan navigates the challenges of his new role, the clash of leadership styles among the Command staff reveals deeply ingrained personal and professional biases. Tensions rise as raw, unfiltered conversations unfold behind closed doors, blurring the line between duty and drama. At times, the Sheriff's Office resembles a chaotic Peyton Place with handcuffs, where the stakes are high, and the fallout is real. Written by Brian Cook, a retired Alameda County Sheriff's Office lieutenant with over 25 years of service and numerous commendations, Hands Across the Sea offers an authentic and compelling look at the human dynamics within law enforcement. With its blend of wit, intensity, and authenticity, this story captures the friction, resilience, and heart that drive those behind the badge. Cook currently resides in Antioch, California, with his wife, Dauphne, and is an active member of several writing groups and networks.

Autorenporträt
The author is a proud Scot raised on that jewel set on a mystic sea, Ardrossan, in the fine county of Ayrshire, on the west coast of Scotland.He once studied Applied Physics but, discovering atoms weren't as exciting as folk made them out to be, sought adventure with Strathclyde Police. He got more than he bargained for in a career that began in Glasgow's most deprived and violent communities where he was a beat cop, plain clothes, firearms, public order and specialist search officer. He was also a crisis and hostage negotiator and a Professional Standards investigator. His career inevitably included less exciting but equally stressful posts. In 1994 he received a Chief Constable's High Commendation for bravery.A student of the University of Glasgow, he graduated with a MLitt Creative Writing with Distinction. He has written a number of short stories and articles for a variety of magazines and published a radio play for Hospital Radio. Now a honorary Glaswegian, he's a proud grandparent, married with a son and two daughters, and can be seen on cold rain-lashed winter nights walking Jasper their Australian Labradoodle. He never ever wanted a dog.Since leaving the police thoughts have turned to the earlier years of his service and the people and events of that time. Of a Glasgow changed for the better, of a style of policing that has all but disappeared and taking the attitudes that came with it. The squalid slums have gone, the rancid tower blocks are disappearing, but so are the distinctive communities that once characterised those areas. Not all change is for the better and in gaining something, something is inevitably lost. 'The Corsairs' is his debut novel.
