description: When Edwin Drood disappears, suspicion is aroused that he has been murdered. From the basis of this intriguing central plot develop the startling innovations and troubled elements lurking within the novel; the dark underworld of the opium addict, the uneasy and violent fantasies of its inhabitants, the disquieting presence of old "Princess Puffer", the undercurrents of fear and tension in the quiet cathedral town of Cloisterham from which people escape to save themselves and, at the center, the menacing figure of Edwin Drood's Uncle Jasper, opium addict and mesmerist.
