About the book
The tenth installment of the beloved and best-selling series follows Precious Ramotswe as she discovers her own need for her renowned detection skills.
Mma Ramotswe's trusty white van has started making a troubling noise. While her husband, Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni, a skilled mechanic, is the obvious choice for help, Precious suspects he may opt to replace the van with something newer. Her suspicions are confirmed when he sells the van without her knowledge and gives her a bland new vehicle to drive. Determined to reclaim her beloved van, Precious sets off on a mission to find it, only to discover it has been stolen by its new owner, complicating the process.
Meanwhile, Mma Makutsi's engagement to Mr. Phuti Radiphuti hits a rough patch, worsened by the meddling of Violet Sephotho. Additionally, the owner of a local football team seeks the help of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency to uncover the reason for their losing streak, suspecting foul play rather than lack of skill.
With Precious Ramotswe on the case, there's no mystery she can't solve or problem she can't fix.
