Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident: Eoin Colfer

Artemis Fowl II. Irish criminal mastermind Artemis Fowl has discovered a fairy race living underground. He has extorted gold from them and the fairy police really have been on his tail for supplying power cells to the goblin gangs. But now the Russian Mafiya are holding his father to ransom in the Arctic Circle and only Artemis's bodyguard, Butler, stands between him and an evil pixie. An explosive situation threatens the entire fairy civilisation and Artemis realises that even a wicked genius needs help sometimes. And it can come from the most unlikely quarters.
