The Girl for the Job is an exciting, intriguing and at times jaw-dropping memoir perfect for fans of true crime and dramas like Line of Duty.

For over a decade Danni Brooke was one of the most effective female undercover cops in the UK, deployed up and down the country to catch criminals. Whether she was busting organized crime gangs, catching pedophiles or disrupting drug supply lines, Danni was prepared to infiltrate the most dangerous situations, putting her life on the line for the job she loved. And since she was one of the only women within this elite unit she became known as 'The Girl for the Job'.

For the first time Danni is ready to lift the lid on her secret life as a covert officer. She joined the Met and was recruited as an undercover cop early in her career. Playing the role of dumb Essex girl, she was so successful at taking down criminals she was seconded to forces around the country. Her personal life was less successful - pregnant at twenty-one, she had a disastrous relationship with the father of her child and had to fight for custody. A traumatic second pregnancy later in her career caused her to reassess her priorities.

'Going undercover isn't for everyone, ' says Danni, thirty-eight. '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. Now I'm prepared to share the secrets of my double life for the first time.'
