The Mystery of ____ Drood, unfinished novel by Charles Dickens (5)

I believe the answer is:

edwin

(Other definitions for edwin that I've seen before include "C7 king of Northumbria" , "Old king's" , "and 19: Dickensian character" , "Fellow" , "Sir - Landseer, artist" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
