The Cask was 1st published in 1920, and is a modern classic, appearing on almost all lists of the detective story. It has been singled out, along with Agatha Christie's 1st novel, to mark the Golden age of detective stories. This was Croft's 1st novel and is his. "The Cast remains a remarkable performance from beginning to end."
