For over thirty five years Jacquie Davis has survived as one of the top operators in a heavily male-dominated profession — the secretive and often dangerous world of being a bodyguard — AKA a close protection officer. The former personal bodyguard to JK Rowling has had so many close scrapes with death while risking everything for her clients, Jacquie is genuinely surprised to still be alive. She has been stabbed, thrown through a shop window, shot at numerous times — including by Kashmiri snipers — and chased through some of the world’s most dangerous countries. She also freed a young British woman who was being held captive in Pakistan and rescued men imprisoned by Saddam Hussein’s son, Uday, in Iraq.
