There is a long tradition of Great Detectives and Dirk Gently does not belong to it. But his search for a missing cat uncovers a ghost, a time-traveller, AND the devastating secret of humankind! (back cover)

26 editions

Hilarious and brilliantly convoluted

About as funny as the Hitchhiker books. As convoluted as your typical British whodunit, but with two major plot elements that i still won’t mention here. With Coleridge poems, a monk on a horse, computers (in the late 1980s) and dons at Cambridge. Aged quite well.
