Publisher's Synopsis
In the small desert town of Pico Mundo, a childhood friend of Odd's has disappeared - feared dead. But as Odd applies his unique talent to the task of finding a missing person, he discovers something worse than a dead body. Odd Thomas never asked to communicate with the dead - the dead sought him out. As the unofficial goodwill ambassador between our world and theirs, he has a duty to do the right thing. For Odd lives always between two worlds in a small town that he can never leave, and where the heroic and the harrowing are everyday occurrences. Now new allies and new enemies gather around Odd, some living and some not. But the adversity he encounters is unspeakably cunning. Every sacrifice is needed to tip the balance between despair and hope as life-changing revelation rushes towards us.
