FROM THE AUTHOR BEHIND BRAND NEW APPLE TV HIT SHINING GIRLSWINNER OF THE 2011 ARTHUR C CLARKE AWARD'A major, major talent' GEORGE R.R. MARTIN_______Zinzi has a Sloth on her back, a dirty 419 scam habit and a talent for finding lost things. But when a little old lady turns up dead and the cops confiscate her last paycheque, she's forced to take on her least favourite kind of job - missing persons.Being hired by reclusive music producer Odi Huron to find a pop star should be her ticket out of Zoo City, the festering slum where the criminal underclass and their animal companions reside.Instead it catapults Zinzi deeper into the maw of a city twisted by crime and magic, where she'll be forced to confront the dark secrets of former lives - including her own._______'Beukes is very *very* good. It feels effortless, utterly accomplished' William Gibson'Beukes brings a secret tenderness and humanity to her off-kilter portrait of the here and now' Guardian'Exquisitely paced and impeccably controlled. An enormously satisfying novel' New York Times Book Review
