What this book is about
The sixth Odd Thomas novel. In a California parking lot, Odd sees a man in a cowboy hat — and in the man's bodach cloud, a vision of nineteen children burning. The man is a rhinestone cowboy with a satanic agenda, and he knows Odd can see him for what he is. What follows is a cross-country chase through the California and Texas landscape as Odd races to find the children before the ceremony can be completed. Dean Koontz's most physically sprawling Odd Thomas novel.
