Douglas Adams - The Long Dark Tea-Time Of The Soul
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 2, 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 2 of Heathrow Airport trying to catch the 15:37 to Oslo?
