Loop me in, odd one. The words, spoken in the deep
of night by a sleeping child, chill the young man
watching over her. For this was a favorite phrase of
Stormy Llewellyn, his lost love, and Stormy is dead,
gone forever from this world. In the haunted halls of
the isolated monastery where he had sought peace, Odd
Thomas is stalking spirits of an infinitely darker
nature
Through two New York Times
bestselling novels Odd Thomas has established himself as
one of the most beloved and unique fictional heroes of our
time. Now, wielding all the power and magic of a master
storyteller at the pinnacle of his craft, Dean Koontz
follows Odd into a singular new world where he hopes to
make a fresh beginning—but where he will meet an adversary
as old and inexorable as time itself.
St.
Bartholomew’s Abbey sits in majestic solitude amid the
wild peaks of California’s high Sierra, a haven for
children otherwise abandoned, and a sanctuary for those
seeking insight. Odd Thomas has come here to learn to live
fully again, and among the eccentric monks, their other
guests, and the nuns and young students of the attached
convent school, he has begun to find his way. The silent
spirits of the dead who visited him in his earlier life
are mercifully absent, save for the bell-ringing Brother
Constantine and Odd’s steady companion, the King of
Rock 'n' Roll.
But trouble has a way of finding Odd
Thomas, and it slinks back onto his path in the form of
the sinister bodachs he has met previously, the black
shades who herald death and disaster, and who come late
one December night to hover above the abbey’s most
precious charges. For Odd is about to face an enemy who
eclipses any he has yet encountered, as he embarks on a
journey of mystery, wonder, and sheer suspense that
surpasses all that has come
before.
