I don't know why."</i> But they do try to communicate, with a short-order cook in a small desert town serving as their reluctant confidant. Meet Odd Thomas, the unassuming young hero of Dean Koontz's dazzling <i>New York Times</i> bestseller, a gallant sentinel at the crossroads of life and death who offers up his heart in these pages and will forever capture yours. Sometimes the silent souls who seek Odd out want justice. Occasionally their otherworldly tips help him prevent a crime. But this time it's different. A stranger comes to Pico Mundo, accompanied by a horde of hyena-like shades who herald an imminent catastrophe. Aided by his soul mate, Stormy Llewellyn, and an unlikely community of allies that includes the King of Rock 'n' Roll, Odd will race against time to thwart the gathering evil. His account of these shattering hours, in which past and present, fate and destiny converge, is a testament by which to live--an unforgettable fable for our time destined to rank among Dean Koontz's most enduring works. 4574034 book 2003 Odd Thomas (Odd Thomas Novel, Book 1) total:21855|5:7269|4:6468|3:4493|2:1847|1:1778| 21855 81168 30704 1345 1 10 false false Sat Jun 21 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 16 05:56:14 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 23 09:26:00 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 3 false false Sun Jun 22 13:36:31 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 22 13:38:54 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 2 false false Sat Jun 07 16:20:28 -0700 2008 Sat Jun 07 16:45:59 -0700 2008 ...more...]]> 4 1 false false Tue Mar 10 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 11 21:19:58 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 11 21:31:19 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 1 false false Sun Jun 17 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu Mar 19 10:50:43 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 19 11:01:12 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 2 false false Fri Apr 04 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Feb 22 15:05:12 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 22 15:05:46 -0800 2008
