Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson investigate the curious disappearance of a young woman's fiance in this mysterious case of stolen identity. When Mary Sutherland comes to Sherlock Holmes to request he find her missing fiance, the remarkable detective wastes no time solving the puzzling case. After being abandoned at the altar on what should've been her wedding day, Mary is convinced that the disappearance of her husband-to-be is the result of a more sinister plot. Through his deductive powers, Holmes is able to unravel a web of deceit, false identities, and hidden motives to uncover the truth behind the case. First published in 1891, 'A Case of Identity' is a gripping short story from the master of detective fiction, Arthur Conan Doyle. This edition features a specially commissioned introduction alongside an article by the author and the original illustrations by Sidney Paget.
