11 Oak Street is the true story of how the Queen's bankers, Coutts
& Co, sent two cashier's cheques to the law firm of Urie Walsh
in San Francisco with the wrong address on the envelope (11 Oak
Street instead of 1111 Oak Street), setting off a chain of events
that led to the abduction of a three-year-old child from Bristol,
England, to San Francisco, California. It is a horrifying story of
greed, ineptness, corruption, stupidity and wasted years as the
father tries to seek justice and access to his son in the midst of
a thirteen-year nightmare that even Kafka could not have thought
up. If you want to read about the seven California lawyers involved
in this story who either went to jail, were disbarred, or resigned
with charges pending, and inept judges who broke all the rules or
were disciplined, this is the book for you. This is a story that
would never have happened if those concerned had fulfilled their
duties correctly and not broken the law. If Graham Cook, the
author, had known then what he knows now, there would have been no
story and he would not have gone bankrupt, become homeless or,
through the corruptness of his own brother, ended up in a
California jail. This is the book the California Judges Association
refused to let me promote to its members lest it offend some of
them, which of course it will do as the book exposes improper and
on occasions corrupt conduct by some of its past and present
members. The best way to describe this book is that everything that
could go wrong went and if the internet was around at the start of
the nightmare most of what went on in this book would not have
happened.This is a book where certain people have gone to
extraordinary lengths to stop people buying and have dismally
failed in their objective.
