Synopsis

The pistol appeared in his hand the way a dove appears in the hand of a good magician, as if it materialized out of thin air. “You think I won’t do it right here in the open. But you’d be surprised.… You’ll drop before you get the breath to scream.”The truck driver is decked out like a rhinestone cowboy, only instead of a guitar he’s slinging a gun—and Odd Thomas is on the wrong end of the barrel. Though he narrowly dodges a bullet, Odd can’t outrun the shocking vision burned into his mind…or the destiny that will drive him into a harrowing showdown with absolute evil.How do you make sure a crime that hasn’t happened yet, never does? That’s the critical question facing Odd Thomas, the young man with a unique ability to commune with restless spirits and help them find justice and peace. But this time, it’s the living who desperately need Odd on their side. Three helpless innocents will be brutally executed unless Odd can intervene in time. Who the potential victims are and where they can be found remain a mystery. The only thing Odd knows for sure is who the killer will be: the homicidal stranger who tried to shoot him dead in a small-town parking lot.With the ghost of Alfred Hitchcock riding shotgun and a network of unlikely allies providing help along the way, Odd embarks on an interstate game of cat and mouse with his sinister quarry. He will soon learn that his adversary possesses abilities that may surpass his own and operates in service to infinitely more formidable foes, with murder a mere prelude to much deeper designs. Traveling across a landscape haunted by portents of impending catastrophe, Odd will do what he must and go where his path leads him, drawing ever closer to the dark heart of his long journey…and, perhaps, to the bright light beyond.“Koontz gives his character wit, good humor, a familiarity with the dark side of humanity—and moral outrage.” —USA Today

Goodreads review by Michelle on July 14, 2019

Book six in the Odd Thomas series and after having a bit of a moan about the last few books I'm happy to report that I enjoyed this one much more. This book definitely has less fillers and more action and I feel like we are building up to something in book seven, the final installment. I really love......more

Goodreads review by Debbie on July 12, 2013

Have you ever been in a relationship which starts out with the other person continually telling you about how well he/she is going to treat you, but time goes by & he/she gets comfortable & lazy & never really delivers on all of those empty words? All build-up, no follow-through. Sure, he/she isn't......more

Goodreads review by Brian on June 10, 2013

It almost pains me to do so, but I have to rate an Odd Thomas novel below four stars. Here's the reason: Dean Koontz is lousing up one of my favorite creations of his with long, rambling paragraphs and inner monologues that never seem to end. True, Odd has always been a very self-reflective character......more

Goodreads review by Tucker on June 12, 2013

Dean Koontz wrote some great horror books early in his career. In recent years he’s evolved into a writer who not only tells a great story but who can also be relied on to create a deeper “layer” or “current” beneath the surface of the book that serves to inspire or exalt morality and virtuous behav......more

I note that I read and enjoyed the first book in the Odd Thomas series after a trip to Orford in Suffolk last year. Again lucky to pick up a charity shop book in the series but this is number 6. This one I started reading on flight to Madeira holiday and finished next day. Now will be forced to read......more
