"In 1894 the celebrated sleuth of Baker Street was at the height of his powers, but the grave allegations made to him by a certain choirmaster, John Jasper, about the 'murder' of his nephew, Edwin Drood, were to present Sherlock Holmes with a case whose tragic ramifications had no rival in Dr. Watson's chronicle of the great detective's exploits. The mystery of Edwin Drood is satisfactorily solved. A baffling time scale; the destructive effects of opium; the secrets of a family tomb; the pitiful inmate of a country asylum; the portrait of a lovely girl - these are some of the elements in a richly intriguing story of detection."
