What to expect

Patricia Cornwell called J.S. Law's first novel 'addictively readable'. Now he returns with the second in the Lieutenant Dani Lewis series. Will be devoured by fans of Lynda La Plante's TENNISON.

A young Naval Wren disappears from the warship Defiance.

With no trace of the girl on board, Lieutenant Dani Lewis, star investigator in the Royal Navy's Kill Team, must work her way through a complex web of witness accounts to uncover why she might run, or what might motivate a predator to take her.

But even as Dani hones in on the truth, threads begin to emerge which take her back to the recent conspiracy uncovered aboard the submarine Tenacity, and even further to the serial killer who continues to taunt her from prison.

Is this a simple case of a missing girl or is the hunter about to become the prey?

Critics Review

Praise for J. S. Law:

In his first Dani thriller, The Dark Beneath, tension festered in the claustrophobic confines of submarine HMS Tenacity. The Fear Within moves up a level, hothousing the fears and urges of the warped and needy in the tighter spaces of the human mind

Sun

J.S. Law’s taut crime novel oozes authenticity. I read this in a day and can’t wait for the next in what will undoubtedly be an explosive series

Clare Mackintosh, author of I Let You Go

Gutsy kick-ass heroine, fast-paced twisty plot and an unusual background make for a gripping read

Woman & Home

An impressive debut . . . Law knows what he’s writing about, and it shows. The sexist antagonism of the men coupled with the cramped conditions make for gripping, entertaining reading

The Times, on Tenacity (now titled as The Dark Beneath)

Dark, disturbing and addictive

Good Housekeeping

Tense, claustrophobic, and totally absorbing, this book should be on every thriller reader’s radar – or should that be sonar? Absolutely superb

Matt Hilton

A taut, tense thriller with a fantastic female lead . . . J.S. Law is one to watch

SJI Holliday

The descriptions are vivid, the atmosphere frighteningly authentic

Shots magazine

I recommend watching out for this exciting debut author, a former submariner who knows his subaqueous stuff and has delivered a narrative that will make anyone breathless

William Sutton

Outstanding . . . Dark and intense

Gritty, super-charged with tension and claustrophobically atmospheric, Tenacity is a real page-turner of a read. . . Highly recommended

Tenacity is absolutely brutal in its intensity and is quite easily one of the best debut thrillers of 2015

A searing thriller . . . The claustrophobic drama which unfolds is breathtaking . . . A must read for fans of psychological crime thrillers

Impressive and memorable

Literary Review

Gripping from the very beginning . . . Cleverly constructed, dramatic and tense, it leaves you feeling shocked yet wanting more

www.eurocrime.blogspot.co.uk

In his debut novel, J.S. Law has crafted a thrilling suspense . . . Law ends Tenacity with a perfect segue into a sequel. It can’t come too soon

Marilyn Dahl

I was gripped from the nail-biting opening chapter right through to the end
