    "The dead don't talk. I don't know why." Yet they try to communicate with a short-order cook in a small desert town who becomes their reluctant confidant. Odd Thomas sees himself as an ordinary guy, skilled at the Pico Mundo Grill and deeply in love with Stormy Llewellyn. He’s unsure if his ability to see the dead is a gift or a curse, but he strives to help the silent souls seeking him out. Sometimes they seek justice, and Odd’s insights assist the town’s sympathetic police chief, Wyatt Porter, in solving crimes or preventing them. However, a mysterious man arrives with a ravenous appetite and a filing cabinet filled with information on the worst killers, accompanied by ominous, hyena-like shades. Odd is left in the dark about the man's identity and intentions, with only a ripped calendar page hinting at impending doom. Tomorrow is August 15, and in less than twenty-four hours, catastrophe will strike Pico Mundo. As evil lurks beneath the desert sun, Odd must navigate his world’s shifting realities to avert disaster, with the help of his soulmate and an unlikely group of allies, including the King of Rock 'n' Roll. His harrowing account of two pivotal days reveals a blend of nightmares and a call to live with courage, humor, and a resilient heart, even in darkness.

    The sixth Odd Thomas thriller from the master storyteller. Our reluctant hero is drawn once more into a strange encounter with the lingering dead. Later that morning, when I walked downtown to buy blue jeans and a few pairs of socks, I met a guy who offered to neuter me with a .45 pistol. In a sinister encounter with a rogue truck driver, Odd - who has the gift of seeing the dead and the soon-to-be dead - has a disturbing vision of the slaughter of three innocent children. Across California, into Nevada and back again, Odd embarks on a road chase to prevent the tragedy. But he is to discover that he is not up against a single twisted sociopath but a mysterious network of evil men and women whose resources appear supernatural. Luckily, in this world that Odd finds so beautiful and full of wonders, and deeply odd as well, he meets a collection of like-minded eccentrics who will help him to take the next giant step towards his destiny.
