"All are familiar with the well-worn plot of the man who comments murder and then attempts to make the crime appear to be a suicide. In 'There's Always a Price Tag,' James Hadley Chase turns this old plot inside out and gives us a new and electrifying reverse of the coin: the man who attempts to make a suicide appear to be murder, in order to lay his hands on the victim's insurance money." - from dust-jacket blurb. .
