In this fourth entertaining novel in this series, Odd Thomas leaves the monastery where he sought emotional peace so he could deal with the effects of his disturbing psychic talent. But instead of returning to Pico Mundo, a vision of a dreadful red tide instead draws him to a coastal California town. Thomas is armed with humor and innocence, and his talent, that of being able to see the mute spirits of the dead. All of whom want his help, hence the emotional toll.
Accompanied by the ghost of his dog, Boo, and the occasional presence of the ghost of Frank Sinatra, Odd arrives at the town where he feels the threat more than ever, but with no indication of what it is.
The fast-reading book ends with some developments that promise more sequels featuring a character Koontz has obviously come to like. Odd is a great character, the scale of events larger than in past Odd Thomas books, and it's obvious to any reader why the series is such a hit.
