The Mystery of Edwin Drood: Penguin English Library

Charles Dickens's last, unfinished novel, The Mystery of Edwin Drood is an atmospheric thriller set in a murky world of opium dens, dark fantasy and sexual obsession. In the middle of a storm on Christmas Eve the orphan Edwin Drood disappears, leaving behind nothing but his watch and the suspicion that his uncle John Jasper, madly in love with Edwin's fiance Rosa, is the killer. For, beneath the surface of the sleepy cathedral town of Cloisterham, this respectable choirmaster leads a drug-fuelled double life.
