Artemis is at boarding school in Ireland when he receives an urgent video e-mail from Russia. In it is a plea from a man who has been kidnapped by the Russian Mafia -- a man Artemis had thought he would never see again: his beloved father. As Artemis rushes to his rescue, he is stopped by a familiar nemesis, Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon fairy police. But this time, instead of battling the fairies, he is going to have to join forces with them if he wants to save one of the few people in the world he loves.

Review of 'The Arctic Incident' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

"We're being led by an idiot with a crayon!"
This second instalment of this most successful of series sees our acerbic hero doing something good for a change, rather than attempting to kidnap a fairy and ransom her for gold. Artemis Senior (father to our lead) was missing, presumed dead but has since turned up, himself for ransom. But all is not happy below ground and Artemis has fairy concerns as well as his own to deal with.

The humour carries on, the story is as gripping as ever. A very good continuation indeed.
