Publisher Comments:

Original detective fiction - with a unique setting (Botswana) and original characters. Now in production as a high-profile feature film by Anthony Mingella and Sydney Pollack. 15,000 copies sold in C format. 300,000 copies sold in the USA.

Synopsis:

Wayward daughters. Missing husbands. Philandering partners. If you've got a problem, and no one else can help you, then pay a visit to Precious Ramotswe, Botswana's only female private detective. Her methods may not be conventional, but she's got warmth, wit and canny intuition on her side.
