BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 / A canon story with a client who could not be saved

I have a vague memory that there is a Canon story where Holmes is not able to help a client but I can't remember which one that has been. The client dies and Holmes blames himself.

Does anybody know such a story?

Could it be The Five Orange Pips? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Five_Orange_Pips

Um, that could be. I've read this one more often than others, so it is easily possible that I had this one in mind.
