A New York Times Bestselling Author
As Mma Ramotswe investigates the deaths of cows at a cattle post outside Gaborone‚ she finds herself also pursuing other mysteries closer to home. One of Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni’s apprentices appears to have gotten a girl pregnant‚ and has run away to avoid marrying her. Meanwhile‚ Precious sees her beloved old van — sent to the junkyard long ago — trundling around the city again. Has the van been miraculously revived‚ or is she hallucinating? Further complicating matters are Violet Sephotho’s newly launched campaign for a seat in Botswana’s parliament‚ and Grace Makutsi’s growing fears that she’ll never be able to marry her fiancé Phuti Radiphuti if she can’t find the perfect pair of wedding shoes. As ever‚ Precious will draw on her trademark grace and wisdom as she helps unravel all these tangled threads.
