I came across an interesting thing while researching Raffles chronology for a fic: ‘The Ides of March’ is set in 1891, and ‘The Gift of the Emperor’ in 1895. Meanwhile, ‘The Final Problem’ takes place in 1891, and ‘The Empty House’ in 1894. In other words, almost the entire period of the Raffles stories for which Raffles is publicly known to be alive, and in which his crimes could potentially have been traced back to him, takes place while Sherlock Holmes is believed to be dead and is in fact out of the country. How convenient!
