These agents included a variety of informants, such as Langdale Pike, a "human book of reference upon all matters of social scandal", [135] and Shinwell Johnson, who acted as Holmes's "agent in the huge criminal underworld of London".

Conan Doyle's house, Undershaw, located in Hindhead, south of London, where he had lived for a decade, had been a hotel and restaurant between 1924 and 2004. It now stands empty while conservationists and Conan Doyle fans fight to preserve it. She also tells him that she is afraid she is going to be dead soon as she fears her life is threatened by her stepfather. Dr. Grimsby Rylott who practiced in Kolkata has already served a jail sentence for killing his butler in the rage of anger. Laura J. Snyder has examined Holmes's methods in the context of mid- to late-19th-century criminology, demonstrating that, while sometimes in advance of what official investigative departments were formally using at the time, they were based upon existing methods and techniques. For example, fingerprints were proposed to be distinct in Conan Doyle's day, and while Holmes used a thumbprint to solve a crime in " The Adventure of the Norwood Builder" (generally held to be set in 1895), the story was published in 1903, two years after Scotland Yard's fingerprint bureau opened.

[30] Holmes aficionados refer to the period from 1891 to 1894—between his disappearance and presumed death in "The Final Problem" and his reappearance in "The Adventure of the Empty House"—as the Great Hiatus.
