Summary:"Koontz gives [Odd Thomas] wit, good humor, a familiarity with the dark side of humanity -- and moral outrage." -- USA Today Once presided over by a Roaring '20s Hollywood mogul, the magnificent West Coast estate known as Roseland now harbors a reclusive billionaire financier and his faithful servants -- and their guests: Odd Thomas, the young fry cook who sees the dead and tries to help them, and Annamaria, his inscrutably charming traveling companion. Fresh from a harrowing clash with lethal adversaries, they welcome their host's hospitality. But Odd's extraordinary eye for the uncanny detects disturbing secrets that could make Roseland more hell than haven. Soon enough the house serves up a taste of its terrors, as Odd begins to unravel the darkest mystery of his curious career. What consequences await those who confront evil at its most profound? Odd only knows. "Odd Thomas is the greatest character Dean Koontz has ever created. He's funny, humble, immensely likable, courageous, and just a joy to read about." -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer "[Odd Thomas is] one of the most remarkable and appealing characters in current fiction." -- The Virginian-Pilot "Supernatural thrills with a side of laughs." -- The Denver Post
