Odd returns to the safe house to find it under siege from the cultists, all of whom end up dead at the hands of the caretakers. He visits the dam and has an epiphany after seeing coyotes. Destroying the dam would partially flood the town, but not enough to cause the destruction and death in his vision. After reuniting with the Chief Porter and novelist Ozzy Boone, he discovers that the cult has obtained enough C4 to destroy a nearby dam. The safe house is run by an older couple who tell him they've been married for years and, as the husband says, have only had "5 bad days in all those years." His wife contradicts him saying "There were 6, you need to figure out where we're differing." Odd sleeps in the house's guest room and dreams of Pico Mundo flooded with visions of people, both recognized and not, floating by him and having expressions of rage. Odd takes the bike to a safe house run by the same organization he helped in the last novel after meeting Mrs. Odd first travels to the mall where Stormy and 18 others were murdered, narrowly avoiding three cultists who, coincidentally or through Odd's psychic magnetism, are visiting the mall where the cult's members nearly caused hundreds of deaths. Odd travels off road and tricks the driver of the SUV into driving into a deep gully, killing anyone inside as the SUV explodes. As he rides the back roads on a heavy motorcycle, he survives the first attempt on his life by evading a large SUV. Odd Thomas returns to Pico Mundo only to find himself immediately under attack from surviving members of the satanic cult he encountered in previous books. The book was initially released on Januby Bantam Books.
