BROTHER ODD - Harper Collins

Odd, a charismatic young man with a sense for the otherworldly, is in self-imposed exile. The tragic events that took the love of his life have led Odd from his sun-bleached desert home to a remote monastery in the icy High Sierra. As ever, where Odd Thomas goes strangeness goes too. A white dog named Boo befriends him - as does the ghost of Elvis. And a world-famous physicist is conducting experiments in the catacombs of the abbey. Could this be why Odd can once again see bodachs, shadowy harbingers of violence? They prowl the halls, suggesting terror to come. But what form will it take? And how will Odd defeat an enemy that eclipses any he has met before?
