She is wealthy and missing her legs below the knees after being pushed in front of a subway train. Odetta is completely unaware that she has an alternate personality—a violent, predatory woman named Detta Walker—that was brought on by head trauma at a young age. Roland and Eddie are forced to contend with both these personalities when Roland forcibly brings Odetta's body into his world, with Detta suppressing Odetta during most of their travels.
Odetta eventually returns, and she and Eddie venture alone toward the final door after Roland's infection recurs. The pair eventually find the third door labeled 'The Pusher' where Eddie leaves Odetta, armed with one of Roland's revolvers, and hurries back with her wheelchair to retrieve Roland.
When they return, Odetta is gone, and Detta hides waiting to strike. After Roland enters the third door, Detta captures Eddie and uses him as bait for the lobstrosities, hoping to force Roland to come back and return her to her own world. Instead of revealing a new companion, the third door leads Roland to Jack Mort, a sociopath who takes sadistic pleasure in injuring and killing random strangers — and the man responsible for the traumas that created Odetta's second personality and cost her both legs, as well as the death of Jake Chambers.
As Roland passes through these doors, he brings back the companions who will join him on his quest to the Dark Tower. Roland brings Eddie back through the door so Eddie can hide the cocaine and get through a customs inspection, but the agents become suspicious and subject him to a lengthy interrogation and surveillance.
Balazar learns of these events and kidnaps Eddie's heavily addicted older brother Henry to force Eddie to deliver the drugs. At Balazar's bar, Eddie claims he can produce the drugs from the bathroom. Eddie is strip-searched and the bathroom torn apart, and no drugs are found. Eddie is eventually allowed to enter the bathroom completely naked and accompanied by one of Balazar's henchmen. In the bathroom, Eddie forcibly drags the henchman into the Gunslinger's world.
During the brief scuffle, the henchman is injured by Roland and then eaten alive by the lobstrosities. In his desolate world, which frighteningly mirrors our own, Roland tracks The Man in Black, encounters an enticing woman named Alice, and begins a friendship with the boy from New York named Jake.
Both grippingly realistic and eerily dreamlike, The Gunslinger leaves listeners eagerly awaiting the next chapter. It is the second book in The Dark Tower series, published by Grant in His untreated wounds soon become infected.
