Armed with his dressing gown and towel, carrying the mysterious and indispensable Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy, he must venture forth for the first time in his life...

Beloved, bumbling Detective Dirk Gently returns in this standalone novel--in trade paperback for the first time--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 an explosion goes off at the passenger check-in desk at London''s Heathrow Airport, the unexplainable event is deemed an act of God. For private investigator Dirk Gently, it''s his job to find out which god would do such a strange thing. In the meantime, one of his clients is murdered and his battle with the cleaning lady over his unbelievably filthy refrigerator comes to a standoff. Is it all connected? Or is this just another stretch of coincidences in the life of off-kilter super-sleuth Dirk Gently? The follow-up to "Dirk Gently''s Holistic Detective Agency," "The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul" is an unforgettable novel of inimitable wit, humor, and limitless imagination.

Detective Gently whizzes about the world, the universe, and time itself as a group of eccentric characters help him find an eccentric cat, solve a murder, and save the human race.

The intergalactic adventures of Arthur Dent begin in this first volume of the ''trilogy of five'', Douglas Adams'' comedy sci-fi classic The Hitchhiker''s Guide to the Galaxy.

The Earth follows shortly afterwards to make way for a new hyperspace bypass and his best friend has just announced that he''s an alien.
