Revue de presse
'The best Adam LeBor to date ... the world he creates is driven by the sharp edge of reality by the raw, brutal politics, by the monsters and desperate heroes.' Alan Furst
'The Geneva Option has all the hallmarks of a classic, fast-paced thriller, while being buoyed by LeBor's deep, eye-opening knowledge of the subculture of international double-dealing. Get ready to be entertained.' Olen Steinhauer
'Adam LeBor has done it again. A gripping and atmospheric thriller from a great writer. Yael Azoulay is a character I'm looking forward to reading about again and again.' Charles Cumming
'A first class thriller, much in the tradition of Robert Ludlum or Tom Clancy, but with a modern, political edge. From deception at the highest levels of the UN to corporate greed and the tragedy of genocide, The Geneva Option is fiction to fear: in the back of your mind you might easily suspect that it may be based on fact.' ABC Brisbane
'Adam LeBor masterfully weaves an international espionage thriller... Five Stars out of Five.' Examiner
'This thriller s prologue is a small masterpiece in showing how the seemingly banal a worker taking a cigarette break on a balcony can be upended into terror. The rest of the book fulfils the prologue s promise.... [with] scene after scene of heart-clutching suspense...Must reading.' --Booklist

Hunted by the world's intelligence and law enforcement agencies, Yael must ultimately learn that salvation means not just saving other's lives but slaying her own inner demons.
A gripping journey through the secret corridors of power.
