SYNOPSIS
In "A Case of Identity" by Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes is approached by a distressed young woman named Mary Sutherland, who seeks his help in locating her missing fiancé, Hosmer Angel. As Holmes investigates, he uncovers a web of deceit and betrayal surrounding Mary's family, particularly her stepfather, Mr. Windibank. Through Holmes's keen observations and deductive reasoning, he reveals the shocking truth behind Hosmer Angel's disappearance and the sinister motives behind it.
THE FIRST PAGE
“My dear fellow,” said Sherlock Holmes as we sat on either side of the fire in his lodgings at Baker Street, “life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent. We would not dare to conceive the things which are really mere commonplaces of existence.
If we could fly out of that window hand in hand, hover over this great city, gently remove the roofs, and peep in at the queer things which are going on.
The strange coincidences, the plannings, the cross-purposes, the wonderful chains of events, working through generations, and leading to the most outré results, it would make all fiction with its conventionalities and foreseen conclusions most stale and unprofitable.”
“And yet I am not convinced of it,” I answered. “The cases which come to light in the papers are, as a rule, bald enough, and vulgar enough. We have in our police reports realism pushed to its extreme limits, and yet the result is, it must be confessed, neither fascinating nor artistic.”
“A certain selection and discretion must be used in producing a realistic effect,” remarked Holmes.
“This is wanting in the police report, where more stress is laid, perhaps, upon the platitudes of the magistrate than upon the details, which to an observer contain the vital essence of the whole matter.
Depend upon it, there is nothing so unnatural as the commonplace.”
I smiled and shook my head. “I can quite understand your thinking so,” I said. “Of course, in your position of unofficial adviser and helper to everybody who is absolutely puzzled, throughout three continents, you are brought in contact with all that is strange and bizarre.
But here”-I picked up the morning paper from the ground-“let us put it to a practical test. Here is the first heading upon which I come. ‘A husband’s cruelty to his wife.’ There is half a column of print, but I know without reading it that it is all perfectly familiar to me.
There is, of course, the other woman, the drink, the push, the blow, the bruise, the sympathetic sister or landlady. The crudest of writers could invent nothing more crude.”
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859 - 1930) was a renowned British author best known for creating the iconic detective character Sherlock Holmes. After studying medicine at the University of Edinburgh, Doyle practiced as a physician, but his true passion lay in writing. In 1887, he published "A Study in Scarlet," introducing Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson to the world. The success of Holmes catapulted Doyle to literary fame, leading to a prolific career in writing novels, short stories, and plays. He was knighted in 1902.
