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.

Featured Article: Best of the Year—The 15 Best Mysteries and Thrillers of 2022


This year was an amazingly fruitful one for mysteries and thrillers. As we tried to narrow this list down, a popular refrain among editors was: "Don’t forget this, don’t forget that, and what about this?" Some of us liked when the twists and turns began within the first few minutes, while others were happy to go on the rocky, thrilling rides the genre provides with a little guessing along the way. But we’re sure about one thing—this list is simply the best.

Wild ride!

It is rare you listen to a book where the author manages to make you hear, smell and feel you are right in the middle of the story. Richard Armitage achieves this with his carefully chosen words that paints such vivid images as you listen to them. He is a masterful storyteller and I hope there will be more stories from him in the future.
Geneva is a wild ride of suspense and intrigue, you are surprised over and over by how the story unfolds and the roles each character actually play in it.
Richard Armitage has been a favorite narrator of mine for a while and I can now say he is also one of my favorite authors.
Nicola Walker is perfect as Sarah, bringing her to life and it’s always such a joy to listen to Richard Armitage perform a narration-nobody does it better.
Highly recommend!

Loved it!

I admit it. The real reason I started listening to this was because Richard Armitage and Nicola Walker narrated it. I love them both. I was not expecting much other than excellent narration. I was pleasantly surprised! This book had me from the first chapter and I I had to hang on tight for this wild ride!
I loved the exciting story and enthralling characters. Please write more!

A Great Assemble of Performers!

Suspenseful, intriguing and hard to stop listening to. Richard Armitage is not only an amazing actor, but now an incredibly talented author who also has found his calling in the literary world. Looking forward to hearing(reading) more of his works in the future.

Armitage can do anything!!

But, I hope he decides to limit his time to writing (and of course, narrating his books) from now on. Geneva was amazing!

Richard Armitage, need I say more

I have often said that I could listen to the dictionary if read by Richard Armitage. And here he has also written a excellent story.

Richard Armitage: Author

With a lyrical style, RA gives us a compelling story full of complex characters and a fascinating setting. A bit plodding at times when the different characters rehash the same plot points, but the conclusion is satisfying, if a smidge predictable. Recommended.

Loved the book, didn’t love the ending

Sarah should have been more of a bad ass in the end!!! She needed to put everyone in their place! And I don’t get what was happening in the very beginning..
