Twelve-year-old villain, Artemis Fowl, is the most ingenious criminal mastermind in history. His bold and daring plan is to hold a leprechaun to ransom. But he's taking on more than he bargained for when he kidnaps Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon (Lower Elements Police Reconnaissance Unit). For a start, leprechaun technology is more advanced than our own. Add to that the fact that Holly is a true heroine and that her senior officer Commander Root will stop at nothing to get her back and you've got the mother of all sieges brewing!

Evil pixie, Opal Koboi, is back and she's more dangerous than ever. This time she doesn't just want power over the fairy People - this time she wants the humans too.

But the 14-year-old genius that Holly is thinking of doesn't even remember that fairies exist. How is she going to convince Artemis Fowl to help her stop Opal? Gold usually does the trick, and this time is should be no different. Or is Artemis changing?

Artemis Fowl csodagyerek, Írország szülöttje. Briliáns elméjét bűncselekmények kiagyalásának szenteli. Mikor Artemis felfedezi a föld alatt rejtőző tündértársadalmat, rögtön meglátja benne az aranyfényben pompázó lehetőséget. Egy teljesen új létforma képviselőit vezetheti immár orruknál fogva és zsákmányolhatja ki zseniális trükkjeivel. Hanem Artemis nem tud annyit a tündérek Népéről, mint képzeli. És ez a nemtudás még bajt hozhat rá... Eoin (ejtsd, mint az Owen nevet - egyszerűbb, mint ahogy ki néz, mi?) Colfer Wexfordban, Délkelet-Írországban született és nevelkedett. Az kissé titokzatos, hogyan vált Artemis Fowl hivatalos életírójává. Colfer esküszik rá, hogy a Fowl család ügyvédei keresték föl a megbízással. Artemis Fowl viszont arra esk üszik, hogy még csak az Eoin Colfer nevet sem hallotta egészen addig, míg engedélye és beleegyezése nélkül meg nem jelent ez az illegális mű. Rebesgetik, hogy ők ketten találkoztak úgy két évvel ezelőtt, valahol a dublini vár alatt található katakomb ákban. Azt senki nem tudja, pontosan mi is történt ott, de egy Colfer-közeli forrásunk úgy értesült, hogy a szerző ősz hajjal és tökéletesen pénztelenül került elő a föld alól. Colfer ifjúsági regényei mindazonáltal szédítő sikert aratnak, akár tetsz ik ez Artemisnek, akár nem. Világszerte toplistákon szerepelnek és halomra nyerik a díjakat. Colfer ma is valahol Írországban él, de a pontos címet nem szeretné nyilvánossá tenni, mivel nem óhajt még egyszer találkozni Artemisszel, illetve testőrével , Butlerral.

Má všechny předpoklady k tomu, aby vyhrál: chladnou hlavu, neuvěřitelnou inteligenci a množství podivných přístrojů, jakoby vypůjčených z filmů o Jamesu Bondovi. Ale jak to tak bývá, každý hrdina jednou přecení své síly. A tak má Artemis co dělat, aby vyvázl ze smrtelného nebezpečí.
