Boston, 1870. When James Osgood receives word that literary master Charles Dickens has passed, he sends his clerk Daniel Sand to retrieve the author's final, yet unfinished novel with hopes that the book will resuscitate his failing publishing company, Fields & Osgood. However, when Sand turns up dead with the manuscript missing, Osgood, along with Sand's older sister Rebecca, travel to England to capture the killer and fetch Dickens' elusive novel.

Not too bad, glad I read it but it's not really one I would re-read. It's a highly interesting premis for a novel, but I did find it confusing in parts and somehow didn't find Osgood that three dimensional. Not sure if that was because he was a real person, but I didn't find him that realistic. The background to Drood was good though.
