A shipping cask arrives leaking, and inside is a body that launches a painstaking international manhunt. Freeman Wills Crofts wrote the classic that set the standard for the patient police procedural. Meticulous, absorbing, and ingenious. A cornerstone of detection. Pry open the cask and follow the trail across the Channel.
