Synopsis

Two 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.

I started Tenacity last night and apart from a short sleep, a work shift and you know, feeding the kids, I didnt put it down until I finished it just now.

You have to read this book! Yes, it’s another of those books I’m going to rave about. Another of those books that I already know has made it into my top list of books read this year (when I create it at the end of the year).

Quotes

“The murky world of submarines and murder make Tenacity addictively readable and memories of it linger like dreams.” Patricia Cornwell, #1 New York Times bestselling author

“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.” Publishers Weekly

“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.” Library Journal

“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.” Booklist

“A brilliant debut. Breathlessly plotted. Deeply disturbing. The perfect thriller to dive into this summer.” Emlyn Rees, author of Wanted

“Tense, claustrophobic, and totally absorbing, this book should be on every thriller reader’s radar—or should that be sonar? Absolutely superb.” Matt Hilton, author of Blood and Ashes

“[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.” Booklist

“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.” Kirkus Reviews
