Odd Thomas is looking for peace. But in the silence and snow of the mountains, danger and desperation haunt him still…

          Odd , a charismatic young man with a sence for the otherworldly and the downright strange, is in self-imposed exile. The tragic events that took the love of his life have led Odd from his sun-bleached desert home of Pico Mundo to a monastery in the High Sierra. It’s December and the remote abbey is besieged by icy wind and snow.
          
          As ever, where Odd Thomas goes, strangeness goes too. A white dog named Boo befriends him – as does the ghost of Elvis. And a world-famous phisicist is conducting experiments in the catacombs of the abbey. Could this be why Odd can once again see the bodachs, shadowy harbringers of violence? They prowl the halls, sugesting the horror to come.

          But what form will it take? And how  will Odd defeat an enymy that eclipses any he has ever met before?
