We say that life is priceless, yet the cost of saving a life, creating a life or compensating for a life taken is routinely calculated. For philanthropists, judges, criminals, healthcare providers and government ministers, it’s just part of the job.

In The Price of Life, journalist and broadcaster, Jenny Kleeman takes us on an adventure to meet some of the people who decide what our lives are worth. From hitmen to modern day slaves, through a serious of extraordinary encounters, her book asks vital questions about how much our lives are worth and who gets to make those judgments.
