Fast-paced and eye-opening, Undercover Copper is an exciting account of life as a covert investigator by Danni Brooke.

For over a decade, Danni Brooke was one of the most effective female undercover cops 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 she was seconded to forces around the country.

Whether she was 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 and gripping memoir, Danni also reveals why she left the police, how she found a new career (and love) on Channel 4's Hunted - and why the thrill of covert work has seen her turn her talents to tracking down cyber criminals.
