Artemis Fowl and the Opal Deception
Criminal mastermind Artemis Fowl is back... and so is his brilliant and dangerous enemy, Opal Koboi. After his last run-in with the fairies, Artemis had his mind wiped of his memories of the world below-ground and now he has returned to his unlawful ways. Artemis has no idea that his old rival Opal has escaped from prison by cloning herself. She’s left her double behind in jail and, now free, plans to exact her revenge on all those who put her there, especially Artemis. Meanwhile in the Lower Elements, Opal has planted a trap for Captain Holly Short and Commander Root of the LEPrecon fairy police. Tragedy ensues, and Holly is framed for a heinous crime she did not commit. Now Holly and Artemis are both in trouble, up against an enemy who may just have outsmarted them both...

Twelve-year-old Artemis Fowl is a millionaire, a genius and, above all, a criminal mastermind: the perfect anti-hero. Artemis combines the astuteness of Sherlock Holmes with the sangfroid of James Bond and the attitude of Attila the Hun. But even Artemis doesn't realise what he has taken on when he kidnaps a fairy, Captain Holly Short of LEPrecon Unit. These aren't the fairies of bedtime stories. These fairies are armed and they're dangerous. Artemis thinks he's got them just where he wants them, but then they stop playing by the rules...
