We’re all a little odd beneath the surface. He’s the most unlikely hero you’ll ever meet - an ordinary guy with a modest job you might never look at twice. But there’s so much more to any of us than meets the eye - and that goes triple for Odd Thomas. For Odd lives always between two worlds in the small desert town of Pico Mundo, where the heroic and the harrowing are everyday events. Odd never asked to communicate with the dead - it’s something that just happened. But as the unofficial goodwill ambassador between our world and theirs, he’s got a duty to do the right thing. That’s the way Odd sees it and that’s why he’s won hearts on both sides of the divide between life and death.

A childhood friend of Odd’s has disappeared. The worst is feared. But as Odd applies his unique talents to the task of finding the missing person, he discovers something worse than a dead body, encounters an enemy of exceptional cunning, and spirals into a vortex of terror. Once again Odd will stand against our worst fears. Around him will gather new allies and old, some living and some not. For in the battle to come, there can be no innocent bystanders, and every sacrifice can tip the balance between despair and hope. Whether you’re meeting Odd Thomas for the first time or he’s already an old friend, you’ll be led on an unforgettable journey through a world of terror, wonder and delight - to a revelation that can change your life. And you can have no better guide than Odd Thomas.

I had an extra copy, so fulfilling a wish for BruceAlexander. Sending this along with another Koontz book. Enjoy!

EllyMae, you're a sweetie! Thank you for the lovely book and the wonderful surprise! I've said it before and I'll say it again because it bears repeating: "BCers are just the best, most generous and thoughtful people on the planet."

Please know that I will pay this forward first chance I get.

This is a lovely book but I've had it too long and now feel it's an opportune time to share it with others. The local Elks Lodge in Ormond Beach has a swap bookshelf and I've noticed that the Dean Koontz books seem popular and disappear rather quickly.

Happy travels little book ~ after moving with me from Louisiana to Colorado to Texas to Florida, it's time for you to spread your wings and fly on your own! Hope you find a happy home!
