Who better to interview the creator of one of literature’s most beloved detectives than a real-life homicide and cold case detective?

This conversation promises an unusual meeting of two very different investigative minds: one who has spent decades imagining mysteries and the other who has spent decades solving them. What does a novelist understand about human behavior that helps him create a great detective? What does a real detective notice that the rest of us miss?

McCall Smith will discuss The Big Cats Dance Party, the latest installment in his enormously popular series featuring Botswana’s incomparable Mma Precious Ramotswe and her steadfast colleague, Mma Grace Makutsi.
