‘I READ THIS IN A DAY AND CAN’T WAIT FOR THE NEXT’ Clare Mackintosh, I LET YOU GO
‘AN IMPRESSIVE DEBUT…GRIPPING, ENTERTAINING READING’ The Times

In this breathless thriller Lieutenant Dani Lewis must uncover the dark truth after a suspicious death on a Navy submarine. Fans of M.J. Arlidge and Elly Griffiths will be absolutely gripped.

A sailor is found dead on board the Navy submarine Tenacity.

Although it’s ruled a suicide Lieutenant Dani Lewis, fearless star of the Special Investigations Branch, knows the man’s wife was found brutally murdered only days before. Now she must enter the cramped confines of HMS Tenacity and interrogate the tight-knit, male-only crew to determine if there’s a link.

Trapped deep in the ocean – the only woman on board with a possible killer in tow – the pressure rises quickly for Dani Lewis. And she may need to choose between the truth and her own survival if she’s to make it out alive.

Two hundred metres below the surface, she will have nowhere to run and nowhere to hide…

Crime Review
Pacey, claustrophobic and utterly thrilling
Eva Dolan
Tenacity is absolutely brutal in its intensity and is quite easily one of the best debut thrillers of 2015

A brilliant debut. Breathlessly plotted. Deeply disturbing
Emlyn Rees
A searing thriller. . . The claustrophobic drama which unfolds is breathtaking. . . A must read for fans of psychological crime thrillers

A taut, tense thriller with a fantastic female lead. . . J.S. Law is one to watch
SJI Holliday
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
Gritty, super-charged with tension and claustrophobically atmospheric, Tenacity is a real page-turner of a read. . . Highly recommended

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

I would certainly recommend you dive in

If Law manages to hold his course into nuclear noir, this series could go for as long as the atom-powered Tenacity
The Sun
If you want a thriller that truly works on every level then Tenacity is for you

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
J. S. Law is a powerful new voice, and his heroine Dan Lewis lives up to the title, Tenacity. She is fearless and doesn't quit in the faces of all odds. The murky world of submarines and murder make Tenacity addictively readable, and memories of it linger like dreams
Patricia Cornwell
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>I Let You Go</i>
Tense, claustrophobic, and totally absorbing, this book should be on every thriller reader's radar - or should that be sonar? Absolutely superb
Matt Hilton
The descriptions are vivid, the atmosphere frighteningly authentic

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