Is this a simple missing person case, or is the hunter about to become the prey?

Patricia Cornwell
called J.S. Law’s writing ‘addictively readable’ and now Lieutenant Dani Lewis returns in an edge-of-the-seat crime thriller that fans of M.J. Arlidge and Elly Griffiths will love.

A young woman has disappeared without trace from a Navy ship – is it a missing person case or something far darker?

Lieutenant Dani Lewis, star investigator of the Navy’s Kill Team, must mine the shadows of the ship and the secrets of its crew to uncover why the girl might run, or what might motivate a predator to take her.

But as Dani relentlessly pursues the truth, threads emerge which lead her to a dark conspiracy from the past. And closer to a killer who continues to taunt her from prison…

A taut, tense thriller with a fantastic female lead . . . J.S. Law is one to watch
<i>The Times</i>, on <i> Tenacity </i> (now titled as <i>The Dark Beneath</i>)
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

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