In Gaborone, Botswana, thirty-five-year-old Precious Ramotswe uses her inheritance from her late father, cattle rancher Obed Ramotswe, to establish the nation's first female-owned private investigation firm, The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency.

Armed with practical wisdom, bush tea, and assistance from her precise secretary Grace Makutsi, Mma Ramotswe investigates local cases involving unfaithful husbands, fraudulent witch doctors, stolen cars, and a missing boy abducted for ritual medicine.
