Product Information

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. Danni Brooke became a police officer at age 18, and her investigative skills were quickly noticed as she was moved to work on an undercover unit out of New Scotland Yard. Her talent was quickly noted by the borough’s Guvnor and before long she was invited to take part in a ‘Test Purchasing’ course, which was the first time she realised there was a special unit dedicated to undercover policing. I did enjoy the stories that Danni went into about being an undercover police officer but it did drag on in parts. Danni has written an incredible book about her 10 years of undercover life in the world of crack dens and mixing with some incredibly dangerous characters, all the more amazing considering she is just 5’2″!

She also referred to practical examples and shared some anecdotes backed up by evidence to drive the message home. 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.i loved hearing about all the undercover jobs that Danni did, especially as she was a young woman in what was a male dominated field. As an expert on personal and social media security issues, she is a regular on TV shows for her advice.

She has also participated in the ‘Celebrity Hunted’ programmes, appeared on ITV’s This Morning, taken part in the C5 series Troll Hunters and is due to star in a new C4 gameshow hosted by Ellie Taylor launching this Spring. This fierce and courageous ex-copper prides herself on being one of the most experienced female undercover investigators in the UK.Danni Brooke’s The Girl for the Job : My strange, dangerous and totally unexpected life as an undercover cop has just been serialised in Sun. Danni has also been involved in Celeb Trolls We’re Coming For you on Channel 5 and was the lead Interrogator on You won’t believe this where she starred alongside Ellie Taylor. With such a significant accolade, Danni often likes to speak of how important it is to deploy women within traditionally male-dominated fields and believes that natural female skills are necessary across services such as the police force. She has long been a strong supporter of women who want to work in traditionally male-dominated areas and is keen to promote these opportunities. As someone who has spent most of her life living a sheltered life in a rural community, it was enlightening to read about the life of an inner-city police officer, and about the lives of the people she encountered in that environment, without the filter of fictional prose to soften the edges.
