Two quirky detective stories from Britain's best sci-fi writer & author of The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy Douglas Adams Dirk Gently is a detective
- well a sort of detective There is a long & honourable tradition of great detectives & Dirk Gently does not belong to it Dirk Gently calls himself a 'holistic detective' & above all he believes in 'the interconnectedness of all things' Sherlock Holmes observed that once you have eliminated the impossible then whatever remains however improbable must be the truth Dirk Gently however does not like to eliminate the impossible In Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency a simple search for a missing cat reveals two ghosts a dodo an Electric Monk the devastating secret that lies behind the whole of human history & threatens to bring it to a premature close & finally the utterly terrifying reason why Richard Mac Duff has had a sofa stuck on his stairs for three weeks As The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul opens a passenger check-in desk at Heathrow Airport shoots up through the roof engulfed in a ball of orange flames The usual people try to claim responsibility However no rational cause can be found for the explosion
- it was simply designated an act of God But thinks Dirk Gently which God? & why? What God would be hanging around Terminal Two of Heathrow Airport trying to catch the 1537 to Oslo? In these two delightfully odd detective stories Adams explores once again the realm of the unknown in the style of science fiction that brought him fame with The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy
