Transworld will publish The Real Happy Valley, a collection of real-life stories about female police officers serving across Yorkshire, written by a former policewoman Alice Vinten.

As reported in The Bookseller, the book, which will be released in November 2023, reveals “what life on the beat is really like for those protecting the cobbled streets and windswept hills of this historic county. From domestic abuse to kidnap, gang crime and murder, these women will stop at nothing to bring their criminals to justice and in the most extraordinary circumstances, they never fail to put others’ safety before their own.”

Alice said: “I’m delighted to be working with Transworld to highlight the inspiring stories of these amazing Yorkshire policewomen. It’s so important to me, as a former police constable myself, to show the public just what women in the service are capable of, and hopefully encourage more women to join the police.”
