Den ærkekriminelle Artemis Fowl har fået sin hukommelse slettet, og nu er der nogen, som har tænkt sig at slå ham ihjel. Han kan intet huske om sin fortid med menneskeædende trolde og flammekastende småtrolde. En vis er opsat på hævn og Artemis' eneste forbundsfælle hos feerne, kaptajn Holly Short fra det Nedre Imperiums Sikkerhedspoliti, er på flugt – anklaget for mord. Pludselig afhænger det hele af Artemis Fowl: det eneste menneske, som feerne virkelig frygter. Og Artemis er afhængig af en pruttende dværg.

Den kriminelle mesterhjerne Artemis Fowl har opdaget en feerie, der lever under jorden. Han har afpresset dem og tvunget dem til at udbetale guld og fæpolitiet har haft ham under stærk mistanke for at sælge højteknologi til småtroldebanderne. Den russiske mafia holder hans far fanget og forlanger løsepenge og kun Artemis' bodyguard, Butler, beskytter ham mod en ond småalf. Da en sprængfarlig situation truer hele feernes civilisation, indser Artemis Fowl at nogle gange har selv et ondt geni brug for hjælp.

I denne første historie om Artemis hører vi om, hvordan han opdagede feernes underjordiske verden og besluttede sig for at udnytte sin viden til at samle masser af rigdomme. Uden at tøve lagde han sig ud med en hær af bevæbnede og farlige feer, pruttende dværge og ekstremt avanceret teknologi. Vi møder også Butler, Artemis' kampsportstræner livvagt, der viser sig at være en god hjælp under kidnapningen af kaptajn Holly Short fra Nedre Imperiums Sikkerhedspoliti og de efterfølgende kampe.
