"What sets Odd Thomas apart.., is Thomas’s wiseguy sense of humor....The writing is breezy and compelling A marvelously narrated cat-and-mouse game... Koontz muses in passing on larger matters like loyalty, faith, love and jus tice, but he packs most of the fun into the action and Odd Thomas’s continuous self-reprimands."

--New York Daily News

I see dead people. But then, by God, I do something about it. Odd Thomas never asked for his special ability. He’s just an ordinary guy trying to live a quiet life in the small desert town of Pico Mundo. Yet he feels an obligation to do right by his otherworldly confidants, and that’s why he’s won hearts on both sides of the divide between life and death. But when a childhood friend disappears, Odd discovers something worse than a dead body and embarks on a heart-stopping battle of will and wits with an enemy of exceptional cunning. In the hours to come there can be no innocent ystanders, and every sacrifice can tip the balance etween despair and hope. You’re invited on an unforgettable journey through a world of terror and transcendence to wonders beyond imagining. And you can have no better guide than Odd Thomas.
