I don't know why." </i>But they do try to communicate, with a short-order cook in a small desert town serving as their reluctant confidant. Sometimes the silent souls who seek out Odd want justice. Occasionally their otherworldly tips help him prevent a crime. But this time it's different. <p/> A stranger comes to Pico Mundo, accompanied by a horde of hyena-like shades who herald an imminent catastrophe.
