The last published story was 'The Adventure of Shoscombe Old Place,' which appeared in 1927. In it, Holmes uncovers the scheme of a man who delays reporting of the death of his benefactor in order to retain his position and fortune. The last chronological story was 'His Last Bow,' published in 1917, in which Holmes and Watson go undercover before the beginning of World War I. In 'The Final Problem,' published in 1893, Holmes was supposedly killed by falling into the Reichenbach Falls though the reader later learns that he was still alive and well.

It is a spy story set in August 1914, 'the most terrible August in the history of the world' for that was the beginning of the Great War (later called World War I). Holmes is a spy for the British who has been feeding false information to Von Bork, a German spy, but Conan Doyle misses the mark by having Holmes capture Von Bork, which would have stopped the flow of information Holmes may have gathered from Von Bork and warned the Germans about the information they were getting.
