Artemis Fowl and the Opal Deception - Author Eoin Colfer

Child genius. Criminal mastermind. Totally clueless.
Artemis Fowl is in serious danger… but he doesn’t even remember why. After his memories of the fairy world are wiped, Artemis finds himself one step behind the evil genius Opal Koboi — a vengeful pixie plotting destruction on every level.

Her wicked plan?

• Frame Captain Holly Short for murder
• Launch a war between fairies and humans
• Eliminate Artemis Fowl once and for all

The problem? Artemis has no memory of the magical world — and no way of stopping her. Luckily, help arrives in an unexpected (and flatulent) form: the notorious dwarf, Mulch Diggums.

This thrilling fourth installment in the Artemis Fowl series is packed with explosive action, clever twists and dark comedy that keeps readers turning pages to the end.
