For twelve-year-old Adam Murphy and Nate Delaney, Debrov’s Carnival World was the best day out with its ghost train and dodgem cars, but not everyone felt the same. The loud and unsightly carnival run by Rayco Dobrev and his fortune-telling wife, Gerta, was unpopular with new residents in the expanding estate who wanted it gone at any cost. That price was a riot and a life lost.

 Eighteen years later, the carnival is deserted, an eyesore for residents – the riots and death but a memory. Except for one girl, Laura Armstrong, who is all grown up and wants Nate to find out what really happened to her father—the neighbourhood group leader—all those years ago.

 Adam and Nate are about to be frightened by the ghost train all over again.
