The Case of...	comment	And now, my friends, we examine ''The Case of the Stock Mystery Title''. Starting the title of your work with the magic words, "The Case of..." is a great way to tell your readers that what they are about to encounter is a mystery or involves mysterious events. This is particularly common in Detective Fiction, where the detective is presumed to have a collection of case files, which some fictional biographer may be sorting through for publication. One common variant is to interject an adjective before the word "case". This adjective will usually serve to heighten the sense of mystery. Words like "Curious" or "Strange" are common choices. In detective fiction, the name may also be preceded by the name of the detective: Inspector So-and-so: The Case of the Intriguing Title. "A Case of..." does not, for whatever reasons, carry the same connotations. "The Case of..." is clearly a mystery of some sort; "A Case of..." is just something that happened (or possibly an infectious disease). This is also a case of a The X of Y Sub-Trope.

This is possibly an example of Beam Me Up, Scotty!, as virtually every Sherlock Holmes pastiche or parody uses the format, yet the actual stories almost always use "The Adventure of X" instead. Though "A Case of Identity" comes close. In Dead Man's Land by Robert Ryan, Winston Churchill tries to interest Dr. Watson in what he calls "The Case of the Man Who Died Twice".
