Can anyone recommend a book focusing on battles of brains

Hello
Just as the title suggests I am currently looking for a book/book series whose characters engage in strategy, trickery, and cunning to win confrontations. As this is rather vague the following books/series are things in line with what I am looking for but have been unable to find:
As a child I read the Artemis Fowl series about a criminal mastermind whose battles are won by anticipating and countering the advances of the police.
Sci Fi- Enders Game
Fantasy- The Name of the Wind
Manga- Code Geass, Death Note (this manga in particular has reinvigorated my interest in such conflicts. A cat and mouse game between a genius serial killer and an equally intelligent detective as they dance around one another preempting and countering their advancements)
Any help people can offer would be greatly appreciated.
