The Saturday Big Tent Wedding Party

At a remote cattle post south of Gaborone, two cows have been killed, and Precious Ramotswe, Botswana’s No. 1 Lady Detective, is hired by a fearful client, himself a suspect. She and her secretary, Grace Makutsi—wooed by Phuti Radiphuti—both see her old white van. Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni’s apprentice runs away under pressure to wed. Violet Sephotho runs for the Botswana Parliament.
