Journalist and broadcaster Jenny Kleeman relates the tense tale of a hostage negotiation. Read by the author.

In a world in thrall to data, it’s possible to run a cost-benefit analysis on anything – including life itself. Journalist, broadcaster and documentary-maker Jenny Kleeman takes us on a journey to meet some of the people who decide what we're worth, exploring what we lose and gain by leaving the judgements that matter up to cold logic.

Kleeman meets an unlikely hostage negotiator and relates the tense tale of a modern-day kidnap.
