7.3 The Salmon of Doubt - Book Information (Douglas Adams)
Well, he's done it again. I'll keep the below in for reference, for a
while, but it sounds as if Douglas has dropped Dirk out of the next
book (which was supposed to be another Dirk book). No word yet on
any other plot issues, but it is also pretty apparent the new release
date of November 1996 is probably correct.
Douglas Adams has announced the next book is going to be a Dirk book, called
A Salmon of Doubt (previously A Spoon Too Short). This used to have an
apparent release date of sometime in October - it now sounds like you're
going to have to wait until November 1996 for it (or the epoch.) The blurb
goes something like this:
"A gorgeous woman approaches Dirk Gently, holistic detective, and requests
his help in finding the missing half of her beloved cat. He looks at her with
the disdain he reserves for achingly beautiful women he knows will never go
out with him. 'I don't do cats,' he sneers. Happily, he doesn't have time
to regret his decision before untraceable deposits in Dirk's checking account
indicate that someone has indeed hired him. But who? And for what? Acting
on his principle that all things are interconnected, he tails the very next
person who walks by his London apartment.
"The following day, in Los Angeles, Dirk finds himself enmeshed in a case
that will turn up the missing bit of cat, replenish his depleted finances,
and answer the most important question of all: What is the salmon of doubt,
anyway?"

With luck, the movie scripts will be the next project for Adams... (see
