* "Readers will burn the midnight oil to finish." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Ever the resourceful one, Artemis has found a way to construct a supercomputer from stolen fairy technology. Called the "C Cube," it will render all existing human technology obsolete. Artemis then arranges a meeting in London with Chicago businessman Jon Spiro. At this meeting he offers to suppress the Cube for one year in return for gold, his favorite substance. But the meeting is a trap, and Spiro steals the Cube and mortally injures Butler.
Artemis's only hope to save Butler is fairy magic. He knows the fairies could heal Butler if his bodyguard can be kept alive long enough. So he puts his manservant on ice in the restaurant's freezer and contacts Captain Holly Short.
In a miraculous feat, Butler is healed but there is a catch: he has aged fifteen years and is no longer able to perform his duties as bodyguard. Thus, Butler's infamously ditzy sister, Juliet, is called in as a replacement. Together, they all travel to Chicago to steal back the Cube and ensure that Jon Spiro is put out of business permanently.
