Zipp has always loved solving mysteries and figuring out the solution to a problem, but she's never made anything official out of it. Until now, that is.

When Queen Haven has a talk with Zipp about her lack of official work, Zipp realizes she must get an actual job if she doesn't wish to be sent back to Zephyr Heights to be trained in royal etiquette. So she decides to apply her talents where she thinks they'll be of most use: The Maretime Bay Police Department.

It isn't long before she's assigned to be Hitch's new deputy, which delights Hitch to no end. Zipp, for her part, looks forward to what she thinks will be a relaxing job that will give her plenty of time to think and continue her own little investigations. But she will soon learn just how chaotic the job can really be, even when she's working alongside a trusted friend like Hitch.
