About this ebook
The second Dirk Gently book by Douglas Adams, The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul is a witty detective story perfect for fans of his phenomenally successful The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
When a passenger check-in desk at Terminal Two, Heathrow Airport, shot up through the roof engulfed in a ball of orange flame, the usual people tried to claim responsibility. First the IRA, then the PLO and the Gas Board. Even British Nuclear Fuels rushed out a statement to the effect that the situation was completely under control, that it was a one in a million chance, that there was hardly any radioactive leakage at all and that the site of the explosion would make a nice location for a day out with the kids and a picnic, before finally having to admit that it wasn't actually anything to do with them at all.
No rational cause could be found for the explosion – it was simply designated an act of God. But, thinks Dirk Gently, which God? And why? What God would be hanging around Terminal Two of Heathrow Airport trying to catch the 15:37 to Oslo?

Douglas Adams
Douglas Adams fue el creador de toda una serie de manifestaciones diversas y contradictorias de la Guía del autoestopista galáctico, que salió a la luz por primera vez en forma de novela radiofónica. Tras el rotundo éxito de la radionovela, el autor la convirtió en libro, y más adelante participó en las adaptaciones de la misma a series televisivas y teatrales, un juego de ordenador, cómics y toallas de baño. Douglas Adams dio conferencias y participó en programas de televisión en todo el mundo, además de colaborar directamente con la Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund y la Save the Rhino International. Adams nació en Cambridge, Reino Unido, y vivió con su mujer y su hija en Islington, Londres, hasta que se trasladó a Santa Barbara, California, donde murió inesperadamente en 2001. Tras su muerte, la película del Autoestopista dejó atrás los bajos mundos de los guiones televisivos y ascendió hasta las altas cumbres de la producción, que se ha servido en gran medida del guión original de Douglas Adams. Anagrama ha publicado, entre otros títulos del autor, su “trilogía en cinco partes” formada por Guía del autoestopista galáctico, El restaurante del fin del mundo, La vida, el universo y todo lo demás, Hasta luego, y gracias por el pescado, Informe sobre el pescado e Informe sobre la Tierra: fundamentalmente inofensiva, para celebrar a este autor que, aunque inigualable, ha sido comparado con Lewis Carroll, Jonathan Swift, Kurt Vonnegut, Groucho Marx y los fabulosos Monty Python.
