‘Addictively readable’ Patricia Cornwell

A sailor is found dead on a submarine. But something doesn’t add up…
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 a submarine to interrogate the tight-knit crew.

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…

Tenacity is absolutely brutal in its intensity and is quite easily one of the best debut thrillers of 2015
Emlyn Rees
A brilliant debut. Breathlessly plotted. Deeply disturbing

A searing thriller. . . The claustrophobic drama which unfolds is breathtaking. . . A must read for fans of psychological crime thrillers
SJI Holliday
A taut, tense thriller with a fantastic female lead. . . J.S. Law is one to watch
The Times
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

Gritty, super-charged with tension and claustrophobically atmospheric, Tenacity is a real page-turner of a read. . . Highly recommended
William Sutton, www.william-sutton.co.uk
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
Crimesquad
I would certainly recommend you dive in
The Sun
If Law manages to hold his course into nuclear noir, this series could go for as long as the atom-powered Tenacity

If you want a thriller that truly works on every level then Tenacity is for you
Marilyn Dahl
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
Patricia Cornwell
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
Clare Mackintosh, author of <i>I Let You Go</i>
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
Matt Hilton
Tense, claustrophobic, and totally absorbing, this book should be on every thriller reader's radar - or should that be sonar? Absolutely superb
Shots </i>magazine<i>
The descriptions are vivid, the atmosphere frighteningly authentic
Promoting Crime Fiction
I was gripped from the nail-biting opening chapter right through to the end
