The second book in Eoin Colfer's internationally bestselling series about a criminal mastermind and his siege against dangerous, tech-savvy fairies.
"The world that Colfer creates is as vivid and fantastical as any shire, gotham, or galaxy far, far away in recent memory." ―Entertainment Weekly
Artemis Fowl receives an urgent e-mail from Russia. In it is a plea from a man who has been kidnapped by the Russian Mafiya: his father.
As Artemis rushes to his rescue, he is stopped by a familiar nemesis, Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon fairy police. Now, instead of battling the fairies, Artemis must join forces with them if he wants to save one of the few people in the world he loves.

"Artemis Fowl is pacy, playful, and very funny, an inventive mix of myth and modernity, magic and crime." —Time
