Someone in Germany is sending them messages in a code that hasn't been used since World War I. When it was first published in 1941 in the U.S. A Toast to Tomorrow along with its predecessor Drink to Yesterday was heralded by famed critic Anthony Boucher as "a single long and magnificent novel of drama intrigue and humor." Howard Haycraft the dean of mystery historians called the two books "superior" examples of the new wave of realistic spy-and- intrigue novels told with a "mood of subtle understatement." A current critic mystery bookseller Barbara Peters of the Poisoned Pen called it her "favorite espionage novel of all time."

"A century ago David Nunes Carvalho a renowned expert on ink handwriting and print became a central figure in some of the world’s most sensational investigations providing key information and contributing to the ultimate exoneration of the Franco-Jewish military officer Alfred Dreyfus.A review of Claire’s book in the Hartford Daily Courant provides one of the most compelling anecdotes of the legend surrounding David’s investigative powers: “It is indeed a fact that Sir Conan Doyle stated in a lecture in New York that Mr. Carvalho’s powers exceeded those given to Sherlock Holmes and were so startling that he would never dare put them into fiction! ”David seemed to have inherited his father’s spirit of innovation and experimentation. On the Frémont expedition Solomon successfully tinkered with chemicals in order to produce photographic images in subzero temperatures and exterior settings and later in life he patented a new process for water heating. Like Solomon David began his career as a photographer and when he later turned his attention to the science of ink and print he did so with a similar curiosity and determination." by Harold Heft April 1 2013 in Forward Magazine; B&W Illustrations; 296p. pages; Pictured 6/17/24 .
