  Little is known of her life although she preferred to write under pseudonyms, one of which she shared with her sister, or as S Carleton, an abbreviated version of her name which gave the illusion of a male identity presumably to give her books a more rugged and male personality given their content.

  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.
