Undercover Copper One Woman on the Track of Dangerous Criminals

An eye-opening, fast-paced account of an undercover cop, from one of the few women in an elite investigative unit. My life was full of danger every day and I couldn't tell my friends or family what I did for a living. My mum didn't even know! There were definitely times I was in too deep but somehow I always got away with it. For over a decade, Danni Brooke was one of the most effective covert investigators in the UK, one of a very small number of women in the Met's elite unit. She was so successful at taking down criminals that she was seconded to forces around Britain. Whether infiltrating organized crime gangs or disrupting drug supply lines, Danni played the innocent Essex girl, fooling even the most suspicious villains, using her quick wits to keep her out of trouble. She loved the job but the pressures of her work, and trying to balance the long hours with being a mother, were to take a toll on her personal life. In her honest, warm, gripping memoir, Danni also reveals why she left the police, how she found a new career (and love) on TV's Hunted, and why the thrill of covert work still pulls her into private investigations. Undercover Cop was previously published in hardcover as The Girl for the Job.
