“NEW YORK TIMES "BESTSELLER
""The dead don't talk. I don't know why.” “But they do try to communicate,
with a short-order cook in a small desert town serving as their reluctant
confidant. Meet Odd Thomas, the unassuming young hero of Dean Koontz's dazzling
"New York Times” bestseller, a gallant sentinel at the crossroads of life and
death who offers up his heart in these pages and will forever capture yours.
Sometimes the silent souls who seek out Odd want justice. Occasionally their
otherworldly tips help him prevent a crime. But this time it's different.
A stranger comes to Pico Mundo, accompanied by a horde of hyena-like shades who
herald an imminent catastrophe. Aided by his soul mate, Stormy Llewellyn, and an
unlikely community of allies that includes the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, Odd
will race against time to thwart the gathering evil. His account of these
shattering hours, in which past and present, fate and destiny, converge, is a
testament by which to live–an unforgettable fable for our time destined to
rank among Dean Koontz's most enduring works.
