The Fear Within
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?

Reviews
A taut, tense thriller with a fantastic female lead . . . J.S. Law is one to watch
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
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
The descriptions are vivid, the atmosphere frighteningly authentic
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
Outstanding . . . Dark and intense
I would certainly recommend you dive in
If you want a thriller that truly works on every level then Tenacity is for you
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
Gripping from the very beginning . . . Cleverly constructed, dramatic and tense, it leaves you feeling shocked yet wanting more
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
I was gripped from the nail-biting opening chapter right through to the end
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
Dark, disturbing and addictive
Gutsy kick-ass heroine, fast-paced twisty plot and an unusual background make for a gripping read
