Publisher's Summary

"An outstanding debut - ingenious, fast-paced and unpredictable." (Harlan Coben)

"Geneva is one of the best thrillers I've ever read. And I've read quite a few." (A J Finn)

How far would you go for someone you love?

Nobel Prize-winning scientist Sarah Collier has taken a step back from work to spend more time with her family. Movie nights with her husband Daniel and their daughter Maddie are a welcome respite from the scrutiny of the world’s press. As much as it hurts, it’s good to be able to see her father more too. He’s suffering from Alzheimer’s and needs special care.

Sarah has started to show tell-tale signs of the disease too. She’s been experiencing blackouts and memory loss. It’s early days but she must face the possibility that she won’t be there to see her daughter grow up. Daniel, a neuroscientist himself, is doing his best to be supportive but she already knows that she will have to be the strong one. For all of them.

So when Sarah is invited to be the guest of honour at a prestigious biotech conference in Geneva she declines, wanting to stay out of the public eye – that is until Daniel shows her the kind of work that the enigmatic Mauritz Schiller has been developing.

Flown first class to the spectacular alpine city and housed in a luxury hotel, Sarah and Daniel are thrust back into the spotlight. As they try to shut out the noise of the public media storm, in private Sarah is struggling with her escalating symptoms. And the true extent of what Schiller has achieved is a revelation. This is technology that could change medicine forever. More than that, it could save Sarah’s life.

But technology so valuable attracts all kinds of interest. Wealthy investors are circling, controversial blogger Terri Landau is all over the story, and someone close to Schiller seems bent on taking advantage of the situation for themselves. Sarah feels threatened and does not know who to trust – including herself. Far from being her lifeline Schiller's technology may be her undoing.

As events spiral out of control Sarah and Daniel are faced with the ultimate question: how far would you go for someone you love?

An unmissable debut thriller written and narrated by Richard Armitage, co-narrated by Nicola Walker and Jane Perry.

This book contains scenes pertaining to dementia that some listeners may find distressing.

Excellent

I can't remember the last time I listened to a book that was so enthralling as this one. Every page was an amazing read. The plot, the characters absolutely brilliant. I sincerely hope they make this book into a screen play. Richard Armitage is a very, very talented writer and I hope he plans more books in the future

Terrific debut thriller: listen!

This novel takes you from London to the Swiss Alps and pulls you in to a complex and riveting story, compellingly written and masterfully brought to life by these three great readers.
The story has as many unexpected twists and turns as an alpine mogul run, and the characters and plot are beautifully brought to life. Just when you think you know what’s coming a sudden incident has you reflecting ins resetting what you know so far.
Performances are superb with consistency of character regardless which actor is reading them. They are fully realized with even the most subtle shifts brought out in the performances. A pleasure to just get caught up in the plot, locations, (which are almost another character themselves), and performances.
Clearly and excellently written and crafted; this is a thrilling and relevant novel you won’t want to stop listening to.

Fantastic audio

It was wonderful to hear Richard Armitage and Nicola Walker read this terrific story together. They’re both excellent actors and their voices are a joy to hear in this taut, twisty and unique tale.
Richard Armitage can be very proud of his first foray into writing and,even though he is very busy with many projects, I hope he doesn’t keep us waiting too long for more.

Good story…a few holes

Great narration. Good story but a few holes and the occasional inconsistency that perhaps a better editor would have caught. The plot was easy to predict but it was overall an enjoyable and engaging book.
