Product description

“One month ago, a case came knocking on my door that made me consider getting out of the detective biz for good. I’d just turned twelve.”

Fletcher Moon, pint-sized investigator, has solved all sorts of mysteries at school and at home. But now things are getting serious. When Fletcher investigates a spate of crimes in the town of Lock, the finger of suspicion points towards shady brothers Herod and Red Sharkey. But as Fletcher searches for the truth, he finds himself moving deeper into a dangerous web of lies… Award-winning author Eoin Colfer drops the Artemis Fowl fairies for real-world, hardboiled detective action in a compelling and demanding mystery read with plenty of meat on its bones!

Eoin Colfer (pronounced Owen) was born in Wexford on the South-East coast of Ireland in 1965, where he and his four brothers were brought up by his father (an elementary school teacher, historian, and artist of note) and mother (a drama teacher). He first developed an interest in writing in primary school with gripping Viking stories inspired by history he was learning in school at the time!

After leaving school he got his degree from Dublin University and qualified as a primary school teacher, returning to work in Wexford. He married in 1991 and he and his wife spent about 4 years between 1992 and 1996 working in Saudi Arabia, Tunisia and Italy. His first book, Benny and Omar, was published in 1998, based on his experiences in Tunisia. A sequel followed in 1999, followed by some other books. Then in 2001 the first Artemis Fowl book was published and he was able to resign from teaching and concentrate fully on writing.

Children are guaranteed a treasure-trove of riches from Ireland’s top storyteller. From the hi-tech fantasy of Artemis Fowl to his brilliant action thrillers like The Supernaturalist, Eoin’s books are brimming with action, invention and laughs! Less confident readers can chuckle over the easy-read adventures of naughty brothers Will and Marty, while those who love fairies and fighting are in for a treat with six unstoppable bestsellers from the hit Artemis Fowl series.
