Most detectives have only to concern themselves with a late payment, or perhaps being hassled by the local police. Dirk Gently (real name Svlad Cjelli) not only has to deal with these problems but also time-traveling ghosts, angry Norse gods, and a truly dangerous curse: that of being right. Shirking the usual detective work of finding clues, following leads, or eliminating the impossible, Dirk will tell you that he relies instead on the “fundamental interconnectedness of all things.” He believes that if the flapping of a butterfly's wings can change the course of a hurricane, then information about his cases can be found almost anywhere. Even, as he has claimed, from a table leg.
This is, of course, completely preposterous. Dirk is, amongst other things, a consummate fraud. Unfortunately for Dirk, who would much rather spend a lifetime pretending to search for the missing cats of old ladies and bill them for nearly a decade, he is always right. No matter how insane his conclusions, or how weird a case he agrees to investigate, the rules of the universe as we understand them are instantly abandoned when Dirk enters the scene. Jets turn into eagles, record producers make deadly deals with weird gods, a ghost can be obsessed with telephone answering machines, and case may be solved by a sofa wedged in a staircase.
