About this ebook

Beloved, bumbling Detective Dirk Gently returns in this standalone novel from Douglas Adams, the legendary author of one of the most beloved science fiction novels of all time, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

When a check-in desk at London’s Heathrow Airport disappears in a ball of orange flame, the event is said to be an act of God. But which god? wonders holistic detective Dirk Gently. And how is this connected to Dirk’s battle with his cleaning lady over his filthy refrigerator…or to the murder of his latest client? Or are these events just another stretch of coincidences in the life of the world’s most off-kilter private investigator?

Douglas Adams, “one of England’s top exporters of irreverence” (Chicago Tribune), continues the implausible adventures of supersleuth Dirk Gently in his quest to solve the mysteries of the universe.

Ratings and reviews

I'd buy this if (This content is DRM protected.) this didn't have DRM. I'd rather have a paper copy then a DRM crippled ebook. I can get a used paperback cheaper anyways. Review is for the DRM, The Novel itself is 5 stars.

Douglas super descriptive style of humor and irony didn't disappoint me and kept me entertained

A little hard to follow at times but my generally entertaining.
