  The Adventure of the Illustrious Client - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Adventure of the Illustrious Client, one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by British author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 12 stories in the cycle collected as The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes.
One difference is that in the first case, it is Holmes' client who wants to get married and needs the impediment removed, and in the second the client is the one wants to use the evidence and prevent the marriage.
In both stories, the illustrious client's identity is initially unknown; in the first story, however, the client's identity is quickly revealed, whereas in the latter story, the client's identity is never explicitly revealed to the reader.

"The Adventure of the Lion's Mane" (narrated by Holmes)
Because of the two orderings, "The Adventure of the Retired Colourman" has often been incorrectly identified as the last Sherlock Holmes story written by Arthur Conan Doyle to be published, when the last such story to be published is in fact "The Adventure of Shoscombe Old Place".
"The Adventure of the Blanched Soldier" and "The Adventure of the Lion's Mane" are both narrated by Holmes himself, the latter being set after his retirement.
