  In this classic mystery from The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, the great detective confronts a puzzle not of violence or theft — but of the human heart and the shadows cast by deception. 
  A troubled young woman, Miss Mary Sutherland, arrives at 221B Baker Street in distress. Her fiancé, the mysterious Mr. Hosmer Angel, has vanished on their wedding day without a trace. Her stepfather insists there’s no cause for alarm — yet something in the case feels far from ordinary. 
  Sherlock Holmes applies his legendary powers of deduction to unravel a scheme built on secrecy, manipulation, and misplaced trust. As Holmes and Watson sift through a trail of letters, half-truths, and strange behavior, they uncover a truth more unsettling than any crime of passion. 
  A tale of identity, control, and the illusions people create, A Case of Identity reveals that sometimes the most chilling mysteries are those hidden behind familiar faces. 
  Narrated with rich period tone and emotional nuance by Ian Michael Turrell, this dramatized audiobook brings Doyle’s sharp wit, atmosphere, and psychological insight vividly to life.

  The Vicar of Wakefield, a novel by Oliver Goldsmith, first published in 1766, has long been regarded as a literary treasure of 18th-century English fiction. Though often simple in plot and unassuming in its narrative style, the novel reveals the depth of Goldsmith's genius and the charm of his storytelling, which has captivated readers across generations. 
  The novel recounts the trials and tribulations of Dr. Charles Primrose, the vicar of the title, and his family. A man of virtuous character, the vicar's steadfast belief in providence and moral integrity is tested through a series of misfortunes—financial ruin, deception, and personal calamity. Yet, it is through these trials that the narrative explores themes of resilience, forgiveness, and the essential goodness of the human spirit. Goldsmith’s portrayal of the Primrose family, especially the vicar’s unwavering faith, serves as both a reflection of the virtues of 18th-century morality and an enduring commentary on human dignity.

  Jessie Douglas Kerruish was born in Seaton Carew, Hartlepool, County Durham in 1884. 
   
  Little is known about the author’s life and to a large extent her work remains either neglected or out of favour. 
   
  Her literary career got off to a very bright start in 1917 when she won the Hodder & Stoughton First Novel Prize for ‘Miss Haroun Al-Raschid’.  Five years later came her seminal work ‘The Undying Monster’, which today is still regarded as a macabre werewolf classic. 
   
  Throughout her career she contributed short stories to such popular periodicals as Novel, Lady's and Weekly Tale-Teller.  One of the best was ‘The Wonderful Tune’ and whilst the title sounds light and airy her dark imagination riddles the narrative.  Many of her works were set in exotic locations from North Africa to the Middle East. 
   
  Her output was small, limited to two collections of short stories and several novels. 
   
  During the 1930’s severe and debilitating migraines prevented her from working for any length of time and all she could muster was contributions to anthologies. 
   
  Jessie Douglas Kerruish died in Hove, Sussex in 1949, in obscurity.
