Adams, Douglas - Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency
Dirk Gently is a private detective who is more interested in telekinesis, quantum mechanics and lunch than fiddling around with fingerprint powder, so his investigations tend to produce startling and unexpected results. A simple search for a missing cat uncovers a bewildered ghost, a secret time-traveller, and the devastating secret that lies behind the whole human history and threatens to bring it to a premature end. Sadly the cat dies.
Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide To The Future
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Future was a four-part radio series hosted by Douglas Adams. It was broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in April and May 2001. Because the radio series turned out to be Adams's final project for the BBC before his death (a week after the first broadcast of the final episode), all four episodes are still available for download from the Radio 4 website.

Last Chance to See

The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul
Kate Schechter would like to know why everyone she meets knows her name - and why Thor, the Norse god of thunder, keeps showing up on her doorstep. It takes the sardonic genius of Dirk Gently, detective and refrigerator wrestler, to get to the bottom of it all. Was the passenger check-in desk at Heathrow's blasting through the roof really an Act of God? (And if so, which?) What's going on at Woodshead Hospital? And why is a severed head spinning on a turntable, its body sitting amiably nearby? Only the sleuthing of Dirk Gently can uncover these mysteries, and only the absurdist wit of Douglas Adams can recount them with such relentless humor.
Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency
Welcome to the world's first ghost/horror/detective/time travel/romantic comedy epic, created by Douglas Adams." The "hero" is Dirk Gently, a man who will probably never make his way into the great tradition of hard-boiled, sophisticated detectives. Missing cats and messy divorces are his specialty, but his goal for now is to clear a college friend of suspicion of murder. On the way, he discovers a ghost, a time traveler - and the devastating secret of humankind! Filled with inspired, bizarre humor, this story is yet another groundbreaking, genre-busting novel from a one-of-a-kind author.
