  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.

  Booker Taliaferro Washington (April 5, 1856 - November 14, 1915) was an American educator, author, orator, and adviser to several presidents of the United States. Between 1890 and 1915, Washington was the dominant leader in the African American community and of the contemporary black elite. Washington was from the last generation of black American leaders born into slavery and became the leading voice of the former slaves and their descendants. They were newly oppressed in the South by disenfranchisement and the Jim Crow discriminatory laws enacted in the post-Reconstruction Southern states in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
  GETTING DOWN TO MOTHER EARTH: One of the highest ambitions of every man leaving Tuskegee Institute should be to help the people of his race find bottom-find bed rock-and then help them to stand upon that foundation. If we who are interested in the school can help you to do this, we shall count ourselves satisfied. And until the bed-rock of our life is found, and until we are planted thereon, all else is but plaster, but make-believe, but the paper on the walls of a house without framework.
