Eliot Sefrin's debut novel, "Under A Cloud," offers a unique, in-depth, inside look into the many of the issues facing 'average cops' and the public they serve. Beyond chasing bad guys and the ever-popular crime-scene investigation-type stories, "Under A Cloud" follows the story of Matt Holland and Rachel Cook (based on Sefrin's wife, one of the first female police officers deployed on street patrol in New York), two highly-regarded white New York City police officers involved in a fatal shooting of an innocent black teen in a poverty-stricken Brooklyn neighborhood. The tragic and accidental shooting immediately triggers a bitter racial confrontation, and results in lengthy investigations and political maneuverings that threaten to destroy the community, shatter lives and overwhelm the truth. This book is available at bookstores nationwide and online at amazon.com.
