It tells the story of a Nobel Prize winning scientist and her husband who travel to Switzerland for a vital conference, and becoming wrapped up in the revolutionary work of the enigmatic Mauritz Schiller. From there, a high-stakes game ensues.<\/p>\n<p class=\"&quot;x_MsoNormal&quot;\">Armitage spoke exclusively with <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/&quot;\">RadioTimes.com<\/a> about the project, and it seems audiences could be seeing a TV adaptation of the thriller in the future.<\/p>\n<p class=\"&quot;x_MsoNormal&quot;\">When asked whether he has ever visited Geneva himself, Armitage revealed he actually went there to scout locations. He said: \u201cI was writing initially from memory because I visited there a long time ago, I think in the early 2000s. And then I wanted to go in winter time but I got caught up in a film project so I couldn\u2019t go.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"&quot;twitter-tweet&quot;\" data-dnt=\"&quot;true&quot;\"><p lang=\"&quot;en&quot;\" dir=\"&quot;ltr&quot;\">Today\u2019s the day.
