Irgendjemand hat die Kobolde mit verbotenen "menschlichen" Kraftstoffen versorgt, und Captain Holly Short von der Aufklärungseinheit der ZUP ist überzeugt, dass ihr Erzfeind dahintersteckt, der dreizehnjährige Artemis Fowl. Aber stimmt das auch?
Someone has been supplying Class-A illegal human power sources to the goblins. Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon Unit is sure that her arch-enemy, thirteen-year-old Artemis Fowl, is responsible. But is he? Artemis has his own problems to deal with: his father is being held to ransom and only a miracle will save him. Maybe this time a brilliant plan just won't be enough. Maybe this time Artemis needs help.
