Catton builds this novel like an intricate pocket watch - every character and event clicking into place with mechanical precision. Twelve men gather in a hotel to unravel a mystery that involves gold, opium, and supernatural coincidence. The structure mirrors the astrological chart that governs the story's hidden logic. For readers who love puzzles wrapped in gorgeous Victorian prose, who don't mind working to see the pattern.
