Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency
What do a dead cat, a computer whiz-kid, an Electric Monk who believes
the world is pink, quantum mechanics, a Chronologist over 200 years
old, Samuel Taylor Coleridge (poet), and pizza have in common?
Apparently
not much; until Dirk Gently, self-styled private investigator, sets out
to prove the fundamental interconnectedness of all things by solving a
mysterious murder, assisting a mysterious professor, unravelling a
mysterious mystery, and eating a lot of pizza – not to mention saving
the entire human race from extinction along the way (at no extra cost).
