Twelve-year-old criminal mastermind Artemis Fowl's only hope of saving his loyal bodyguard, Butler, is to employ fairy magic and contact his old rival, Captain Holly Short, to help him pull off the most brilliant criminal feat of his career.

After his last run-in with the fairies, Artemis Fowl's mind was wiped of memories of the world belowground and any goodness grudgingly learned is now gone.

Artemis Fowl, having reverted to his criminal lifestyle following his last run-in with the fairies, travels to Berlin intending to steal a famous painting from a German bank, not realizing his old rival, Opal Koboi, has been just waiting for a chance to destroy him.

The adolescent criminal mastermind, Artemis Fowl, must join forces with his nemesis, Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon fairy police, in order to save his father--one of the few people in the world Artemis loves--who has been kidnapped by the Russian mafia.
