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 \u003ci\u003eliving\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eDeeply Odd \u003c\/i\u003eand Dean Koontz's Odd Thomas series\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Not since \u003ci\u003eWatchers \u003c\/i\u003ehas Dean Koontz created such an endearing and enduring character as Odd Thomas. . . .
