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. Her father’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, her husband, 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.

‘Transportive, heart-pounding and propulsive . . . not to be missed!’ LUCY CLARKE

DISCOVER YOUR NEXT FAVOURITE SPECTACULAR DESTINATION THRILLER WITH HEART

Nobel Prize-winning scientist Sarah Collier has started to show the same tell-tale signs of Alzheimer’s disease as her father: memory loss, even blackouts. So she is reluctant to accept the invitation to be the guest of honour at a prestigious biotech conference – until her husband Daniel, a neuroscientist, persuades her that the publicity storm will be worth it. The technology being unveiled at this conference could revolutionise medicine forever. More than that, it could save Sarah’s life.

In Geneva, the couple are feted as stars – at least, Sarah is. But behind the five-star luxury, investors are circling, controversial blogger Terri Landau is all over the story, and Sarah’s symptoms are getting worse. As events begin to spiral out of control, Sarah can’t be sure who to trust – including herself.

Immensely readable, pleasingly twisty and with a snowbound setting that glints like a knife.’
SARAH HILARY

‘I loved it. It’s crime, but it’s also subtle, human, nuanced and clever . . . The ending had me rushing through the chapters, breath held, pulse pounding. Just stunning.’
HELEN FIELDS

Brimming with intrigue and as twisting and turning as any Alpine road. Richard Armitage has created a slick, pacy read with skill and conviction. Five stars.’
JANICE HALLETT

Atmospheric, icily tense.’
TELEGRAPH

‘A gripping, taut, pacy as hell alpine thriller. More twists and turns than a toboggan on a black run. A high octane ride. Secrets lies and spies. What more could you ask for!
IMRAN MAHMOOD
