| Description: |
The new paperback of a thriller from Dean Koontz, 'Odd Thomas'. |
| Synopsis: |
The new paperback of the bestselling thriller from Dean Koontz, one of the most acclaimed and popular authors of modern times. In Odd Thomas he has created a character whose unique voice will live for generations to come. Odd Thomas takes pride in his work as a fry cook. His fame has spread, bringing strangers to the restaurant in Pico Mundo. Odd cannot say what it is that disturbs him about this particular stranger, but his sixth sense is alert ...This is a man with an appetite for operatic terror. The violence he craves is of the most extreme variety: multiple untimely deaths spiced with protracted horror. Tomorrow. Odd's fears are first for Stormy Llewellyn, his one true love. Stormy believes that our passage through this world is intended to toughen us for the next life -- that the many terrors we know here are an inoculation against worse in the world to come. But Odd Thomas knows more than Stormy about this world. Many people in Pico Mundo think he is some sort of psychic, perhaps a clairvoyant, a seer, something. None but a handful know that he sees the restless dead, those with unfinished business and, sometimes, plenty of postmortem rage. Tomorrow.The day begins as uncannily still as dawn on Judgment Day one breath before the sky cracks open. At once chilling and deeply moving, Odd Thomas is a brilliantly observed chronicle of good and evil in our time, of illusion and everlasting truth. |

Scarpetta
Kay Scarpetta takes up an assignment in New York City, where the NYPD has asked her to examine an injured patient in a psychiatric ward. The handcuffed and chained patient, Oscar Bane, has specifically asked for her. The story he has to tell turns out to be one of the most bizarre she has ever heard. Is his paranoid tale true? The only thing Scarpetta knows for certain is that a woman has been tortured and murdered, and that more violent deaths will follow.

Just What I Always Wanted
What do Mount Kilimanjaro, a hundred-million-dollar marble mansion, a pair of handcuffs, a jar of walnut jam, the bleeding heart of a dead elk, an incontinent donkey, two Scottish terriers called Negus and Stasi, a fur-lined jockstrap, and the fossilized bowel movement of a turtle have in common? They have all been offered as birthday presents to some rather famous people. This book presents a curiously compelling collection of celebrity birthday gifts from the 16th century to the present day.
