{"product_id":"odd-thomas-vol-1","title":"Odd Thomas (Vol. 1)","description":"Considered not only a master of our worst nightmares but also a literary juggler, Dean Koontz weaves, with each plot, a tapestry of intrigue and suspense, with haunting descriptions. In the \"Odd\" series, he hits the nail on the head once again. The narrator, Odd Thomas, is truly bizarre. At 20, he happily works as a cook in the small, fictional California town of Pico Mundo, despite his talent for writing. The reason for his lack of ambition? An even greater ability: Odd can talk to the dead. A secret known only to his girlfriend, an eccentric writer, and the local police chief. Odd tries to do what he can for the silent souls that haunt him. Sometimes they want justice, other times they try to prevent crimes. But some spirits want revenge, chaos, and brutality. This is the case with bodachs—dark entities that feed on pain, accompany murderers, and whose presence prophesies imminent violence. When a stranger, nicknamed Fungus Man, arrives at the restaurant with a retinue of bodachs, Odd is intrigued enough to follow him. And break into his home. At Fungus Man's hideout, Odd discovers hundreds of bodachs and a strange altar containing information about history's worst psychopaths. Who is this stranger really? And what does he intend in Pico Mundo? His only clue is a page torn from a calendar: August 15th, the following day. Suspecting that the stranger's intentions involve catastrophe and mayhem, Odd begins a race against time to save his quiet town from the forces of evil. In Odd Thomas, Dean Koontz creates a thrilling thriller with a twist never before seen in his novels: a sharp sense of humor. The book is the story of an unlikely hero who, with the help of his soulmate, his cat Chester the Terrible, and the soul of the legendary Elvis Presley, keeps his heart untouched by darkness. And saves the day!","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175045742844,"sku":"9788501085498","price":84.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/c1a2af40332d66c066b9167c687e1e60.jpg?v=1778327048","url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/products\/odd-thomas-vol-1","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
