Strange things are happening at Heidi’s house in Hovenäset. When the carpenter tears down one of her bedroom walls, an old children’s shoe and a toy is found underneath the floorboards. Night after night, a horrible storm rages on, and at night, Heidi can hear someone sneaking around in the room next to hers.

The only thing to look forward to is the ferris wheel that has come to town for the summer. Bill, its kindly owner, moves into the guestroom. Yet something is not right. Dad’s pregnant girlfriend is getting more tired by the day, and Heidi’s confused grandmother seems to be terrified of the ferris wheel, so much so that she wants to get rid of not only it but Bill as well. Heidi soon understands that something horrid has taken place in her house – and that it’s about to happen again…

Wheel of Fire is the first installment in The Bohus Coast Trilogy, where the three friends Heidi, Alva, and Harry have a summer vacation filled with dark secrets and cruel events from the past.
