Rival Great Powers especially Kaiser Wilhelm's Germany sit watching like crows on a fence ready to rush in to carve up the vast territories menacing England's vital overland routes to her Indian possessions. At his medical practice in London's Marylebone Watson receives a mystifying telegram. It's from Holmes. Dear Watson if you can throw physic to the dogs for an hour or two I would appreciate meeting at the stone cross at Charing Cross railway station tomorrow noon. I have an assignation with a birdlover at the Stork & Ostrich House in the Regents Park which has excited my curiosity. Yrs. S. H. Watson finds the invitation puzzling. Why should such a mundane meeting at a Bird House excite the curiosity of Europe's most famous investigating detective or anyone else? For old times sake Watson joins his old comrade - in - arms. Within days Holmes and Watson find themselves aboard HMS Dreadnought en route to Stamboul a city of fabled opulence high espionage and low intrigue.
