Get this from a library! John Jasper's secret: a sequel to Charles Dickens' Mystery of Edwin Drood. [Charles Dickens; Wilkie Collins] -- After the death of Charles Dickens in , Wilkie Collins decided to finish one of his most popular works. This book offers the conclusion to Dickens' Mystery of Edwin Drood.   Place frequented by John Jasper in Dickens’ “The Mystery of Edwin Drood”: OPIUM DEN “The Mystery of Edwin Drood” is an unfinished novel by Charles Dickens.

Such a pivotal role needs exactly the right depiction given the scrutiny he will be under. Jasper is described in the book as “a dark man of some six-and-twenty, with thick, lustrous, well-arranged black hair and whisker”, which appears detailed enough until you.
