Description
Discover the beginning of a legendary journey with Odd Thomas, the first installment in the celebrated series by master storyteller Dean Koontz. Meet Odd, a twenty-year-old short-order cook in a small desert town who possesses a unique and quiet gift: he can see the lingering spirits of the dead. Unlike many supernatural thrillers, Odd doesn’t seek out the paranormal; instead, he uses his ability to provide justice for those who can no longer speak for themselves.
The tension escalates when a mysterious stranger arrives in Pico Mundo, accompanied by a swarm of “bodachs”—shadowy, eyeless creatures that appear only when mass violence is imminent. Realizing that a catastrophe is looming over his peaceful community, Odd must race against time to prevent an unspeakable disaster.
This hardcover edition is a cornerstone for any suspense or urban fantasy collection. Koontz expertly balances heart-pounding action with profound themes of love, destiny, and the thin veil between worlds. Presented in excellent condition, this volume is ideal for collectors who value a crisp, well-maintained book that looks as good on the shelf as it feels in the hand.
