Zoo City by Lauren Beukes
Set in a world where murderers and other criminals acquire magical animals that are mystically bonded to them, Lauren Beukes's Arthur C Clarke Award-winning novel delivers a thrill ride that gleefully merges narrative styles (Publishers Weekly).Zinzi has a Sloth on her back, a dirty 419 scam habit, and a talent for finding lost things. When a little old lady turns up dead and the cops confiscate her last paycheck, Zinzi's forced to take on her least favorite kind of job--missing persons. Being hired by reclusive music producer Odi Huron to find a teenybop pop star should be her ticket out of Zoo City, the festering slum where the criminal underclass and their animal companions live in the shadow of hell's undertow. 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.
