Sinopsis

SHAUN ALOYSIUS O'MARA came round the shadow of the low wall that bounded the end of the little church. He stepped unsteadily over the wall; began to walk through the small graveyard towards the yew-tree grove.
It was hot. The sun beat down pitilessly; there was no air. O'Mara stumbled over a low headstone, cursed horribly; saw over his shoulder the short figure of the curé; the dingy worn and shiny soutane; the thin white face.
He began to laugh. He laughed at the priest. He began to sing a ribald song in the Breton tongue. The curé shrugged his shoulders; disappeared into the cool darkness of the porch. O'Mara heard his footsteps die away. He thought that the sound of worn shoes on the stone flags was a strange sound.

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.

An apparent suicide in a London townhouse uncannily mirrors a similar incident from twenty-five years ago, prompting Scotland Yard's George Flint to delve deep into the past in search of the solution to a long-forgotten mystery. 
 
 
 
Meanwhile, Joseph Spector travels with a coach party through the rainy English countryside to visit an allegedly haunted house on a lonely island called Devil's Neck. The house, first built by a notorious alchemist and occultist, was later used as a field hospital in the First World War before falling into disrepair. The visitors hold a seance to conjure the spirit of a long-dead soldier. But when a storm floods the narrow causeway connecting Devil's Neck to the mainland, they find themselves stranded in the haunted house. Before long, the guests begin to die one by one, and it seems that the only possible culprit is the phantom soldier. 
 
 
 
Flint's and Spector's investigations are in fact closely linked, but it is only when the duo are reunited at the storm-lashed Devil's Neck that the truth is finally revealed. Tom Mead once again creates a brilliant homage to John Dickson Carr and the Golden Age of mysteries with this intricately plotted puzzle.
