The legend began in the obscure little town of Pico Mundo.
A fry cook named Odd was rumored to have the extraordinary
ability to communicate with the dead. Through tragedy and
triumph, exhilaration and heartbreak, word of Odd Thomas’s
gifts filtered far beyond Pico Mundo, attracting
unforgettable new friends—and enemies of implacable evil.
With great gifts comes the responsibility to meet great
challenges. But no mere human being was ever meant to face
the darkness that now stalks the world—not even one as
oddly special as Odd Thomas.
After grappling with
the very essence of reality itself, after finding the veil
that separates him from his soul mate, Stormy Llewellyn,
tantalizingly thin yet impenetrable, Odd longed only to
return to a life of quiet anonymity with his two
otherworldly sidekicks—his dog Boo and a new companion,
one of the few who might rival his old pal Elvis. But a
true hero, however humble, must persevere. Haunted by
dreams of an all-encompassing red tide, Odd is pulled
inexorably to the sea, to a small California coastal town
where nothing is as it seems. Now the forces arrayed
against him have both official sanction and an infinitely
more sinister authority…and in this dark night of the soul
dawn will come only after the most shattering revelations
of all.
Burnishing Dean Koontz’s stature as a
master of suspense and one of our most innovative and
gifted storytellers, Odd Hours illuminates a legacy
of mystery and hope that will shine on long after the
final page.
