IN THIS EPISODE: It’s #ThrillerThursday and this week I have a novelette from my collect of Alfred Hitchcock Presents books. This one comes from the book, “Alfred Hitchcock Presents: Stories Not For The Nervous” published in 1965. However, the story I’ll be telling tonight, “The Abominable History of the Man with Copper Fingers,” was originally published in 1928 in a collection of stories by Dorothy L. Sayers called “Lord Peter Views the Body” – with each story in that anthology centering around the character of Lord Peter Windsor.
