The Hiatus
Holmes fans refer to the period from 1891 to 1894 the time between
Holmes' disappearance and presumed death in "The Adventure of the
Final Problem" and his reappearance in "The Adventure of the Empty
House" as "the Great Hiatus". It is notable, though, that one later story
("The Adventure of Wisteria Lodge") is described as taking place in
1892.
