In the "stunning conclusion to the acclaimed Odd Thomas series, Odd and his surrogate fathers - Pico Mundo Chief of Police Wyatt Porter and author Ozzie Boone (weighing 435 pounds) battle a cult founded in 1580 in Oxford, England. They are devoted to the demon Meridian." They don't just celebrate evil, they work hard to bring more evil into the world, to bring upon the world a tidal wave of horror that'll wash hope out of it forever. They killed Odd's Stormy in the Greenmoon Mall Massacre and are determined to celebrate the massacre with even more bloodshed. From the opening pages when Odd is pursued through the desert by a mysterious Cadillac - a pursuit that ends in a fiery crash, to Odd's escape attempts within the mall with its multitudinous diatribe on bat trivia, to Odd's humor and overall goodness in combating evil and craziness in the world, Saint Odd is a gripping, marvelous tale. Insisting he is nothing more than a simple fry cook, Odd faces extreme challenges with courage, selflessness, and humor. He is an inspiration and motivation for all - that even the seemingly least significant of us wreak great change in the world. The ending is simply masterful!!
