The latest high−concept thriller from one of the world′s bestselling authors.

Odd Thomas knows more about the mysteries of the universe than the rest of us. He can see the lingering dead. He has learned that there are no coincidences. Even in chaos‚ there is order‚ purpose‚ and strange meaning.

Intuition has brought Odd Thomas to the quaint town of Magic Beach on the California coast. In his desert home‚ Odd once found an ocean filled with love‚ and lost it. Now‚ scarred and alone‚ the only magic he finds by the vast‚ indifferent Pacific is in the name of the town where he has come to rest.

As he waits to learn why he has been drawn to Magic Beach‚ he has found work as cook and assistant to a once−famous film actor who‚ at eighty‚ has become an eccentric with as long a list of fears as he has stories about Hollywood′s golden days.

Odd is having dreams of a red tide‚ vague but worrisome. But nothing prepares him for the hard truth of what he will discover. For in Magic Beach‚ he will come face to face with a form of evil that will test him as never before.

Odd Hours is a brilliantly observed chronicle of good and evil in our time‚ of illusion and everlasting truth.
