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.
