About this listen

"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.

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.

Wow

It is hard to believe that this is the author’s first novel. I was hooked from the first paragraph and the roller coaster ride never stopped. I have read this genre for years and I was constantly surprised. I could not put it down. What a brilliant, twisting tale.

An absolutely brilliant story!

What an absolute page turner! It was a brilliant story which keeps you in suspense the whole time. The plot was well thought out and completely believable. Being a medical tech geek, I appreciate the attention to the medical detail in this story. I would not expect anything else from Richard Armitage. Awesome first book, when can we expect the next? You, Richard Armitage, have made my most favourite author list! Thank you for a really great book and the cast who read it ( Lucas & Ruth together again).

Spellbinding!!

I have to say I’m blown away by this. The story line held me in its grip the whole time and the performers were fantastic. I only hope that he (Richard ) will write more in the future.
