Although Stasia and mum Sarah have only lived in The Sticks for a very short time, they find themselves in the midst of some strange, increasingly suspicious goings-on. After their dangerous run-in with gangster Arton Mudd, they are dismayed to find he is still on the run from the Law Keepers.

Meanwhile, Elf Services Administrator Imperia Jobsworth has been reported missing, and has not been seen for days.

Could the two cases possibly be linked?

Faerie detectives Dorissa and Snooch find it all too much to handle, so Sarah steps in to help. This provides Stasia and Esmoylda with the perfect opportunity to do a little sleuthing of their own, with or without the assistance of 'Helpful Elf' Drivel.

Can they track down Imperia, and help put Arton Mudd back where he belongs, behind bars?
