The reader is left to infer from the following conversation from 'The Valley of Fear' that Moriarty lived somewhere in London. Moriarty's younger brother lived in the West of England. INSPECTOR MacDONALD: '. . . I thought you told me once, Mr Holmes, that you had never met Professor Moriarty.' SHERLOCK HOLMES: 'No, I never have.' INSPECTOR MacDONALD: 'Then how do you know about his rooms?' SHERLOCK HOLMES: 'Ah, that's another matter. I have been three times in his rooms, twice waiting for him under different pretexts and leaving before he came. Once - well, I can hardly tell about the once to an official detective. It was on the last occasion that I took the liberty of running over his papers, with the most unexpected results.' INSPECTOR MacDONALD: 'You found something compromising?' SHERLOCK HOLMES: 'Absolutely nothing. That was what amazed me. However, you have now seen the point of the picture. It shows him to be a very wealthy man. How did he acquire wealth? He is unmarried. His younger brother is a station-master in the West of England. . . .'
The Last Sherlock Holmes Story was created in 1978.

They first met when Professor Moriarty showed up at 221B Baker Street to entreat Holmes to give up his pursuit of Moriarty's organization, but they met again at Reichenbach Falls where they fought to the death.
Sherlock Holmes is the fictional creation of Arthur Conan Doyle. He first appeared in ' A Study in Scarlet' in 1887, his last stories appear in 'The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes' published between 1921 and 1927. The story ' His Last Bow' is set in 1914 just before the outbreak of the war, Holmes catches German spies. This is the last Holmes story (not the last written, but the one which tells of his last case), He has by this time retired to a small farm in Sussex to keep bees. The Story 'The Final Problem' set in 1891 and published 1893 sees Holmes and Moriarty fall over a waterfall in Switzerland. Holmes is presumed dead, but it turns out survived the last fight and went into hiding to enable him to catch the rest of Moriarty's gang. Holmes returns to London, and Watson in 'The Adventure of the Empty House' set in 1894, but published in 1905. Holmes faked his own death on Monday 4 May 1891 to allow him to work undercover.
In the books and most movies, Prof. Moriarty (his arch nemesis) and Holmes fall off the Reichenbach Falls. Sherlock survives, but Moriarty dies. The only reason Conan Doyle killed him off was because he grew tired of the character and the series, and it was distracting him from other projects. He brought back Sherlock Holmes because fans of Holmes got angry and forced Conan Doyle to bring him back. In the BBC modern-day adaptation of Sherlock, Moriarty tells Sherlock that he will kill Sherlock's friends is Sherlock does not kill himself. This exchange occurs on top of St. Bartholomew's Hospital. Moriarty shoots himself in the head, and then Sherlock jumps to his apparent death. At the very end of the episode, it is shown that Sherlock is still alive.
Moriarty is Ó Muircheartaigh in Irish. Associated with Co. Kerry.
It was "His Last Bow".
The last published story was 'The Adventure of Shoscombe Old Place' (1927). The last case of Sherlock Holmes' career was 'His Last Bow' (1917). Some people even say his last case was 'The Final Problem' (1893). Of course, there have been hundreds (if not thousands) of imitations since then. The Adventure of Shoscombe Old Place can be found in 'The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes.'
