Alexander McCall Smith's Precious Ramotswe is the eminently sensible and cunning proprietor of the only ladies' detective agency in Botswana. She is the detective as folk hero, solving crimes through an innate, self-possessed wisdom that, combined with an understanding of human nature, invariably penetrates into the heart of a puzzle. Explore Gabarone and the Kalahari.
