Zinzi December 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 paycheck, she’s forced to take on her least favourite kind of job: missing persons.

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.

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 paycheck, 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 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.

Con un bradipo sulle spalle e un grande talento nel recuperare oggetti smarriti, Zinzi si ritrova a dover accettare un lavoro che odia: cercare le persone scomparse. Ritrovare una pop star per conto del produttore musicale Odi Huron dovrebbe garantirle la possibilità di lasciare per sempre Zoo City, un reticolo di bassifondi infestati dai criminali della peggior specie e dai loro fedeli animali. Al contrario, questo incarico la getta direttamente tra le fauci di una città deturpata dalla criminalità organizzata e dalla magia.
