Book description
Dan, an Irishman who's ended up in New Jersey, finds himself embroiled
in a world of murder, kidnapping and corrupt cops. Dan works as a
bouncer in a seedy club, half in love with hostess Connie. When Connie
is murdered on the premises, a vengeful Dan finds himself embroiled in
an increasingly deadly sequence of events in which his doctor friend Zeb
goes mysteriously missing, a cop-killing female cop becomes his only
ally, and he makes an enemy of ruthless drug-dealer Mike Madden. Written
with the warmth and wit that make the Artemis Fowl novels so
irresistible, though with additional torture and violence, PLUGGED is a
brilliant crime debut from a naturally gifted writer with a huge
fanbase. Eoin Colfer (pronounced Owen) was born in Wexford, Ireland in
1965. He qualified as a primary school teacher, and spent about four
years working in Saudi Arabia, Tunisia and Italy. His first book, BENNY
AND OMAR, was published in 1998, based on his experiences in Tunisia; it
has since been translated into many languages. In 2001 the first Artemis
Fowl book was published and Eoin was able to resign from teaching and
concentrate fully on writing. He now lives in Ireland with his wife and
two children.
