'One of the best thrillers I've ever read. And I've read quite a few.' A. J. FINN
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.
'Transportive, heart-pounding and propulsive . not to be missed!'

'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.'

'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!'

📄 Exercise Your Right of Withdrawal
Under EU consumer law, you have the right to withdraw from your purchase within 14 days of receiving your order, without giving a reason. To formally exercise this right, use the button below. This is a distinct function separate from our general returns process.
Your right to cancel
If you order online, you have the right to cancel your order within 14 days of receiving your goods, without giving a reason. This cooling-off period runs from the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the last item in your order.

Once we've confirmed your cancellation, you have 14 days to send the goods back to us.

You'll also need your receipt or proof of purchase. If your return is based on the item's condition on arrival, please include a photo so we can advise the best resolution.
Faulty or damaged items
Please inspect your order on arrival and contact us immediately if an item is defective, damaged, or not what you ordered. Separately from the 14-day cancellation right above, you're entitled to a repair, replacement or refund on faulty goods for up to two years from purchase, under standard consumer guarantee rights.
