On the stormy night of his arrival, he stumbles across a tense gathering of twelve local men who have met in secret to investigate what links three crimes that occurred on a single day: the town’s wealthiest man has vanished, a prostitute has tried to end her life, and 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart mystery, part fantastical love story, \u003ci\u003eThe Luminaries\u003c\/i\u003e weaves together the changing fates and fortunes of an entire community, one where everyone has something to hide.
