All events take place in the year 1891. After Holmes and Watson are released from custody following the events in the shipyard, Inspector Lestrade hands a newspaper ("The National Police Gazette") over to Holmes. The title on the newspaper is "London In Terror", and the date is Friday, November 19, 1891, but oddly the first newspaper, foretelling Blackwoods hanging, given to Holmes by Watson in his apartment is dated Novemeber 13, 1890. This sets the story during the period when, in the original Sir Arthur Conan Doyle stories, Holmes was believed dead. According to "The Final Problem", Holmes and Professor Moriarty apparently plunged to their deaths over the Reichenbach Falls in May 1891. Holmes did not reveal he had survived until the spring of 1894, as described in "The Adventure of the Empty House".
