Nick notices Phyllis Catchpole, a well-known pickpocket, in attendance and although she assures him that she's here for legitimate work, Nick would be wise to keep an eye on her. He also bumps into Claude Jeremiah Greengrass, a strange figure in the community who has an old friendship with the ageing lord and who also has a taste for spying on people. Considering he's not cordially invited to the event, what's he doing there? Constable Nick's shift finishes without incident and he heads home. Just as he is about to tuck into bed, there's a phone call. \u003cstrong\u003eHis sleepy village isn't quite as sleepy as he thought. Edwin Drood, a wealthy and very aloof man, has been found shot dead.\u003c\/strong\u003e Although this man had his fair share of enemies, surely no one hated him enough to kill him?
