Clovis Andersen & The Principles of Private Detection
Clovis Andersen, through his book The Principles of Private Detection, has unwittingly, at least, until the events recounted in the Ramotswe novel The Limpopo Academy of Private Detection, been the font of all knowledge for Mma Ramotswe and Mma Makutsi. To them, The Principles of Private Detection has been the bible of private detection, and has successfully guided them throughout their work. Although Mma Ramotswe does disagree with Mr Andersen upon rare occasion.
We hate to do this to you, of course, but we must reveal that Clovis and his book are entirely fictional and, outside the pages of the Ramotswe novels, do not exist. Mind you, Sandy is, we think, only half joking when he says the numerous queries he receives about the book may force him to write it.
So, until then, what we put here will have to do. It is a collection of Mma Ramotswe's readings from Clovis Andersen's book The Principles of Private Detection.

SORRY
Unfortunately, Sandy's agents and publishers have refused us permission to use any of Clovis's wise detection principles. The excuse was that if they gave us permission, they would have to give hundreds of other websites permission. We don't know if they've ever done a web search for websites on the Mma Ramotswe novels, but if they reckon there are "hundreds" they're doing much more successful searches than we've been able to effect. Maybe it's just that Sandy is going to deliver a whole edition of Clovis's great book.
