Product Details
From the back cover: "On June 9, 1865, while traveling by train to London with his secret mistress, fifty-three-year-old Charles Dickens—at the height of his powers and popularity, the most famous and successful novelist in the world— hurtled into a disaster that changed his life forever.
"Did Dickens begin living a double life after the accident? Were his nightly forays into the worst slums of London and his deepening obsessions with corpses, crypts, murder, opium dens, lime pits, and a hidden London-beneath-London mere research . . . or something much darker?
"Based on the historical details of Charles Dickens's life and narrated by Wilkie Collins—Dickens's friend, frequent collaborator, and Salieri-esque secret rival—Drood explores the still-unsolved mysteries of the author's last years and may provide the key to his final, unfinished work: The Mystery of Edwin Drood.
"Chilling, haunting, and utterly original, Drood is Dan Simmons at his powerful best."
