Publisher's Synopsis
Odd, a young man with a sense for the otherworldly and the strange, is in self-imposed exile. The tragic events that took the love of his life have led Odd to a monastery in the High Sierra. It's December and icy winds and snow besiege the remote abbey. As ever, where Odd Thomas goes, strangeness goes too. A white dog named Boo has befriended him - as has the ghost of Elvis. And a world-famous physicist is conducting experiments in the catacombs of the abbey. Could this be why Odd can once again see bodachs, shadowy harbingers of violence? Their prowling suggests terror to come. But what form will it take? And how will Odd defeat an enemy that eclipses any he has met before?
