«Drood» is Dan Simmons's historical mystery novel, published by Quercus Publishing in paperback (800 pages, in English).
After surviving the 1865 train accident, Dickens meets a spectral figure named Drood. His friend and rival Wilkie Collins narrates how both descend into underground London: slums, opium dens, catacombs and sewers. The novel imagines the origin of 'The Mystery of Edwin Drood' amid investigation, jealousy and crimes.
Originally published in English on 5 March 2009 by Quercus Publishing, it was nominated for the Goodreads Choice Award for fiction.
For readers of historical and mystery fiction, especially those interested in Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins.
