When Charles Dickens died in 1870, he was midway through his last novel, The Mystery of Edwin Drood. Since the great author's death, the mystery has grown, so many authors have striven to complete the author's tantalizing fragment.
In this superior exercise in "Droodiana," historical novelist Leon Garfield has executed a highly satisfying resolution to many of the loose ends of Dickens' tantalizing mystery. Scarce in this overall Fine condition!
