''[[Dirk Gently's
Dirk is a small-scale con artist whose latest scheme is working as a "Holistic Detective", who believes in the "fundamental interconnectedness of all things" and how that means that ''anything'' might prove useful in solving the ''whole'' cases of his clients -- which, the way he sees it, means that he can do anything he likes, even take a three-week tropical vacation, and still charge it to the client as an expense. Of course, by [[Finagle's Law]], ''somehow'' every mundane little job he starts off working on in each novel is somehow actually connected to the main plot, and ''he's'' the one who has to solve everything.
Line 32:
* [[Shout-Out]]: The BBC radio adaptions of the novels re-use several sound effects from ''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy]]'', and include a reference to the Sirius Cybernetic Corporation.
