On the stormy night of his arrival, he stumbles across a tense gathering of 12 local men who have met in secret to discuss a series of unexplained events: a wealthy man has vanished, a prostitute has tried to end her life, and an enormous cache of gold has been discovered in the home of a luckless drunk. Moody is soon drawn into a network of fates and fortunes that is as complex and exquisitely ornate as the night sky. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRichly evoking a mid-nineteenth-century world of shipping, banking, and gold rush boom and bust, \u003ci\u003eThe Luminaries\u003c\/i\u003e is at once a fiendishly clever ghost story, a gripping page-turner, and a thrilling novelistic achievement.
