Learn moreTwo hundred meters below the ocean’s surface, you can’t run, you can’t hide, and the truth won’t set you free.
An officer hangs himself in the engine room of naval submarine HMS Tenacity. A woman’s murder bears disturbing similarities to an old case. Lieutenant Danielle “Dan” Lewis grasps for the truth—before it submerges in the gray waters of the English Channel.
Cramped, claustrophobic, and under strict command, the confines of HMS Tenacity are unwelcoming in the best of circumstances. For Dan, the only female aboard, who must methodically interrogate a tight-knit and hostile crew, it’s her own special place in hell.
Recently reassigned to the Special Investigation Branch’s Kill Team, Dan’s hardheaded reputation precedes her. But facing an obstinate ship’s company, a commanding officer too eager to close the case, and a constant threat of unfriendly male interest, she learns that under enough pressure, everyone has their breaking point.
J. S. Law is the author of Tenacity in the Lieutenant Danielle Lewis crime thriller series. He started in the British Royal Navy as an apprentice engineer and worked his way up through the ranks. He has worked on helicopters, ships, and, toward the end of his naval career, submarines. He is a passionate advocate for education and now works providing nuclear training and education to the defense and civil sectors.
Lisa Coleman’s audiobook narration credits include Traitor, Seriously Weird, and The Present Takers.
Reviews
“The murky world of submarines and murder make Tenacity addictively readable and memories of it linger like dreams.”
“Law, a former senior nuclear engineer in the Royal Navy Submarine Service, capitalizes on his intimate knowledge to turn the sub into a terrifying setting.”
“Law’s first novel…makes full use of his experience as an engineer on a nuclear sub. The confining, restricted, and very male atmosphere of a submerged submarine becomes vividly real as this stubborn lieutenant alienates nearly everyone around her…The unusual setting, skilled writing, and obvious veracity make this a bold first effort.”
“The unusual setting adds a great deal of interest but never slows the action in this fast-paced nail-biter starring a flawed but dynamic character.”
“A brilliant debut. Breathlessly plotted. Deeply disturbing. The perfect thriller to dive into this summer.”
“Tense, claustrophobic, and totally absorbing, this book should be on every thriller reader’s radar—or should that be sonar? Absolutely superb.”
“[Law] ups the tension significantly as he brilliantly re-creates the claustrophobic feel of living on a submarine…[A] fast-paced nail-biter starring a flawed but dynamic character. A very promising series.”
“Law understands dramatic tension and sets the stage nicely for the very detailed scenes aboard the submarine, and his description of life inside a sub is fascinating…A good yarn.”
