In the town of Pico Mundo, a friend of Odd's has disappeared. It's feared he is dead. But as Odd applies his unique talents to finding the missing person, he discovers something worse than a dead body. Odd Thomas had never asked to communicate with the dead - the dead sought him out. As the goodwill ambassador between our world and theirs, he must do the right thing; for Odd lives between two worlds in a town he can never leave. Now Odd faces new enemies, some living and some not. But the adversary he encounters is unspeakably cunning. Every sacrifice is needed now, as a life-changing revelation rushes towards us, and Odd Thomas must stand between us and our worst fears.
