Thomas Burke's 'The Hands of Mr. Ottermole' is widely regarded as one of the best detective stories of the thirties. First published in 1931, Burke's tale was later adapted for an episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents. Many of the well known western and detective short stories, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
