Summary
Seven months after Forever Odd, the story begins. Odd Thomas has been a visitor to St. Bartholomew's Abbey throughout this period, where he expects to find serenity and understanding.
During his stay, he encounters a white-furred dog that helps him on his further travels.
Odd notices a shadow-like Bodach. This spells calamity for the abbey. One of the monks goes missing, and Odd is attacked by an unknown assailant.
Odd hears an odd noise in a heavy snowfall while searching for the missing monk, and subsequently sees a complex, moving pattern of bones against a glass.
The abbey's other visitor, Rodion Romanovich, joins Odd in the garage to pick up the monks.
Odd, skeptical of Romanovich, prepares to leave him at the abbey, but he escapes with one SUV full of monks before Odd can stop him.
A bone creature flips Romanovich's SUV on the way there. Odd's confidant, Brother Knuckles, destroys the beast with the second plow, rescuing everyone.
Back at the school, Odd and Romanovich discover that Jacob's father, The Neverwas, is John Heineman, a monk known as Brother John at the monastery and a former physicist who experimented with reality.
Later, Odd chooses to leave the monastery, but as he drives back to his hometown, psychic magnetism draws him out of the car, and the novel closes as he wanders down the highway toward the unknown.
Elvis Presley, who occasionally aids Odd, ultimately crosses over after three escapades. Odd and the dog (who is now shown to be a spirit) go on together, only to be joined by the ghost of Frank Sinatra seconds later.
