It's Tommy Hambledon, of course, and this time on the track of a counterfeiting ring which keeps him racing from London to Brussels to France, with way stops for every kind of action in the book. It all started when Tommy observed some curious byplay in a café called the Taverne Gruber in Brussels. The restaurant provided cardboard circular mats, and one of these was carefully inspected by a solitary patron, then pocketed. Whereupon the patron left hurriedly and was promptly followed by another man who had been looking through the window. Tommy, intrigued by this, made a third in this procession and, unknown to him, was himself followed by a fourth person. The first man was murdered. The fourth turned out to be an agent of the Paris Sûreté. Tommy and the agent joined forces and became involved in a series of adventures which included a hair-pulling contest between two volatile Frenchwomen and the hijacking of a police car. They eventually nailed the expert engravers who were churning out bills by the thousands in a nefarious scheme to debase the currency of the Allied countries. Tommy has never been in better form than in this fast-moving, adventure-packed thriller.

It started the night a safe-cracker was shot on a Stepney street by a soft-spoken killer. Through an ingenious piece of detection - and with the help of his underworld friends - Tommy Hambledon succeeded in identifying the killer as the notorious Louis Magid. The problem was to find a man so vicious and so feared that even the criminals let him walk alone. The trail led to a small French village, an old castle and a mysterious woman. And, as Hambledon discovered in crime the female of the species is indeed deadlier than the male.

British Intelligence agent Tommy Hambledon had the mistaken notion when he arrived at Innsbruck that he had left behind all connections with Herr Bastien, who had been shot in the railway compartment they shared on the Anglo-Swiss Express. But when he was commanded by a belligerent Austrian taxi driver to disrobe, and then forced at gunpoint to hike barefoot over the Alps, Hambledon ruefully decided that his vacation was over.

Sally and Jeremy Latimer are pleased, if somewhat puzzled, when two gentlemen with decidedly old-world manners choose to befriend them when their car mysteriously breaks down in the small French village of St. Denis-sur-Aisne while on holiday one fine day in 1953. What they don’t know is that the two men, James and Charles Latimer, are ancestors of theirs. These two ectoplasmic gentlemen and their spectral pet monkey Ulysses have been summoned from their final resting place in an unmarked grave because their visiting relatives are in serious trouble. But before they can solve the younger Latimers’ problems, the three benevolent spirits light brief candles of insanity for a tipsy policeman, a recalcitrant banker, a convocation of English ghost-busters, and a card-playing rogue who’s wanted for murder.

Drink to Yesterday was based on the early life of one of its two collaborators, Cyril Henry Coles, who left school, lied about his age and enlisted as a teenager in the British army during World War I. He was transferred to intelligence when his remarkable aptitude for conversational German was noticed, and he became the youngest member of Britain’s Foreign Intelligence Office (later MI6). Like Bill Saunders of the book, Coles spent much of the rest of war working behind enemy lines. Coles and his collaborator, a Hampshire neighbor, Adelaide Oke Manning, chose to cast his story in the form of the novel so as not to run afoul of the Official Secrets Act. Grimmer than later books in the series, it’s also an ingenious circular story of murder, enlivened by the sardonic humor of Bill’s mentor, Tommy Hambledon.
