[Sweet Romance + Mystery Solving + Interspecies Bonds] Just after rabbit officer Judy joins the Interspecies Cooperation Division, she gets caught up in a series of disappearances in Neon Alley. A pale purple powder clings like a curse as young animals vanish one after another, and even her grandmother is kidnapped by a mysterious group called the Balancers. The only one who can help her is Nick, the fox who is always chewing blueberry gummies.
He's an officially certified ecological observer, but he's also "Mr. Wilde," the man with connections everywhere in Neon Alley. From Old Mudskipper, the crocodile at the Muddy Tavern, to the otter scouts deep in the swamp, Nick's "old friends" always come to the rescue when all seems lost. When a cold case from ten years ago comes to light, Judy discovers that her grandmother and Nick's father were once allies who stood side by side against the darkness.
A secret to activating the toxin lies hidden in a field of purple flowers, while a heather emblem is linked to a police mole. The "Night Owl's" conspiracy threatens the balance of Zootopia itself. Judy's carrot bento warms Nick's stomach, and Nick's fox tail always shields her when danger strikes.
Can interspecies trust shatter a decade-old conspiracy? When a fox's golden eyes meet a rabbit's determination, justice is never absent. "Partner, this time it's our turn to protect the world."
