However, after disconnecting the television set the boy had been watching, the boy promptly breaks Dirk’s nose. While at his recently deceased client’s house, he discovers that his client had a son. The aforementioned client is found in a sealed and heavily barricaded room, his head neatly removed several feet from his body and rotating on a turntable. The seriousness of his client's claims becomes clear when Dirk arrives several hours late for an appointment to find a swarm of police around his client's estate. A wealthy man in the record industry has retained him, spinning a story about being stalked by a seven-foot-tall, green-eyed, scythe-wielding monster.ĭirk pretends to understand the man's ravings involving potatoes and a contract signed in blood coming due when in reality, Dirk is musing about what he might do if he actually receives payment for his "services" - such as getting rid of his refrigerator, which is so filthy inside that it has become the centrepiece of a showdown between himself and his cleaning woman.
Dirk Gently, who calls himself a "holistic detective", has happened upon what he thinks is a rather comfortable situation.
