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...

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Claustrophobic in the most visceral way, former Royal Navy engineer J.S. Law creates the epitome of tense thriller set-ups with this death on a submarine. The attention to detail and rising pressure will have you sailing through the book at a rate of knots. As rising star Lieutenant Dani Lewis is dispatched to look into the suspicious circumstances on-board the military u-boat, she’s met with a tight-lipped crew. But as she closes in on the truth, the consequences for Dan are much darker than she anticipated—and perfectly rendered to set us up for a series for the special investigator.
Customer Reviews
Excellent read
Great first book by J S Law. Characters are real and tangible. Looking forward to book two! X
Boring
Sorry but to me this book was a bit boring. Yes you may enjoy it if you are or were in the Royal Navy.
I found that the story took a long time to get going yes about 1/2 the book is literally about getting onto the submarine.
Would not recommend.
Gripping read
Brilliant page turner. Gripping read.
When is J S Law writing the next one.
