A Case of Identity

Arthur Conan Doyle · 1891 · Mystery & Detective

Mary Sutherland asks Sherlock Holmes to find the quiet suitor who vanished on their wedding morning. Typed letters, hurried clothing and an empty four-wheeler lead Holmes from a sentimental mystery to a calculated deception inside her own home.
