"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.

Thrilling thriller indeed.

An amazing and interesting debut for Richard Armitage as an author.
The story is captivating and the narration makes it even better. Every character is interesting and the situations make you doubt who and what you believe.
Exactly what was promised.

Excellence

This doesn’t disappoint! Excellent narration by two of the best! Highly recommend this read/audiobook!

A thriller beyond expectations in many ways!

The story is appealing. Abundant details constantly nuture the seed to grow and bloom into an attractive but toxic poppy. Audible kindly reminded that dementia scenes could make audience feel distressed. But it is every confession made by Daniel that truly uneased me. Sarah is strong-minded, no room for self-pity. What an optimistic woman! Terri's posts are interesting and well-delivered. No wonder she has so many followers! But the most impressive voice belongs to Schiller. Sickly but stubborn, very skeptical. Brilliant performance and, of course, brilliant writing! A debut thriller beyond expectations in lots of ways.

Hollywood here he comes

Having melted quietly over Richard Armitage’s voice for years, I was keen to read his first novel.

At first I thought it was going to be a long, drawn-out, end-of-life dementia story, and having seen my father through that horror I certainly didn’t need to dredge up painful memories.

I am so glad I kept going.

I won’t write a reveal. But if some Hollywood producer doesn’t snap this up, I will be bitterly disappointed.

Fabulous story, great visuals - yes, visuals from an audio book, outstanding narration - I’d give it 10 stars if I could.

Geneva

Excellent ! Didn’t expect such a great result! Thank you for the entertainment! Will highly recommend

Good plot, unexpected twists, slower in the beginning

A plot with a backdrop of medical diagnoses make for an unreliable narrator and a compelling story. Wish the beginning had more meat or big story arcs to it, but story definitely picks up speed and is rewarding at the end. Performance by all is top-notch.

Fabulous!

For me, this was a spectacular book. Mystery, romance, intrigue, and page-turning (accept it was audio speeding.) Armitage is not only a gifted author but an ideal performer, with a mesmerizing voice. A triple threat…or gift.

I...uh...wow

Well I...wow...uh...Christ, that was amazing. I don't know what else to say about it.

Happily Surprised

Skeptical initially but LOVED it after all. More to come. Armitage is as impressive a writer as an actor and voice artist.

Loved it!

I could listen to Richard Armitage and
Nikola Walker narrate books for the rest of my Audible life! Great story, great narration. I hope Mr. Armitage gets busy riding his next one.
