In this novel from the legendary Douglas Adams, quirky and bumbling Private Investigator Dirk Gently stumbles upon a million-year-old ghost, wandering the earth and disturbing all its people. What he uncovers is the ghost’s desperate plot to go back in time to prevent its own death. But this ghost was no ordinary person, and helping it save itself just might change the modern world as we know it. And not in a good way.
