Nicola Walker has become a staple on British screens over the last decade thanks to her amazing performances in everything from Spooks and Unforgotten to The Split, as well as countless other dramas.

And now the actress has an exciting new project in the works, and it will not only see her do something completely different but also team up with another incredible star! She will be joining forces with Richard Armitage and lending her voice to the actor's debut fiction title, Geneva, which is set to be released exclusively as an audiobook.

Announcing the exciting news on social media, Richard wrote: "The incredible talent that is Nicola Walker has lent her voice to my first novel. I'm honoured and couldn't be happier. #Geneva."

The star of The Hobbit trilogy and Netflix thrillers The Stranger and Stay Close will be releasing his debut fiction title in October exclusively on Audible. Geneva has been described as an "intricate and fast-paced psychological thriller" and follows a Nobel Prize-winning scientist and her husband as they travel to Switzerland for an important conference.

Nicola Walker will be joining forces with Richard Armitage for his new audibook

As the synopsis reads: "Upon arrival, they become entangled in a high stakes game with hidden players, and soon everything they thought they knew about their work, their marriage and even their sanity is called into question."

While audiobooks are fairly new territory for Nicola, that is not the case for Richard, who is a favourite among Audible listeners, having narrated a number of titles, including the bestselling Jackman and Evans detective series by Joy Ellis. As a result, the news of the collaboration between the British actor and the Amazon off-shoot earlier this year came as a surprise to fans.

Geneva will be available exclusively on Audible on 20th October 2022. It will be available free for Audible Plus members or free to download with Audible's 30-day trial: http://www.audible.co.uk

Description
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.
