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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSarah 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSo 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFlown first class to the spectacular alpine city and housed in a luxury hotel, Sarah and Daniel are thrust back into the spotlight.

This is technology that could change medicine forever. More than that, it could save Sarah's life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs events spiral out of control, Sarah and Daniel are faced with the ultimate question: how far would you go for someone you love?\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRichard Armitage\u003c\/b\u003e is a multi-award winning stage, screen, and voice actor best known for his roles in Peter Jackson's trilogy of The Hobbit; \u003ci\u003eCaptain America: The First Avenger\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eAlice Through the Looking Glass\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eOcean's 8\u003c\/i\u003e; and the recent Netflix series \u003ci\u003eThe Stranger\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eGeneva\u003c\/i\u003e is his first novel.
