Publisher's Synopsis
Officer K was the elite undercover cop who put her life on the line to fight crime, only to make the shocking discovery that her colleagues were more corrupt than the criminal gangs she infiltrated.
Part of a unit once dubbed the Scottish FBI, this undercover officer - one of only a small number of women operating at that level in the UK - was forced out of her job after she exposed a colleague's gross misconduct and financial mismanagement, potentially putting the lives of covert officers at risk. When senior officers ordered the evidence of wrongdoing to be burned in an incinerator, it made Officer K and her colleagues think about what else was being hidden.
Telling her tale in this powerful memoir, Officer K opens up about mental torture she endured at the hands of the force she had risked her life for; her stellar career that saw her infiltrate drug gangs, working under a host of aliases; and the high pressure operations that led to the convictions of several dangerous criminals.
