Leona – Into the Fire
By
Jenny Rogneby
After a raging fire in Stockholm, Sweden, six teenagers are found dead. Soon after, yet another fire breaks out at Stockholm Central Station at rush hour, and Leona realises that the incidents are not coincidences – they follow a terrible pattern.
The nationally bestselling and critically acclaimed Leona-series takes place against the backdrop of Swedish society, with a socially engaging issue at heart. In Into the Fire, Jenny Rogneby centres on social alienation among young people growing up in today’s media landscape, and the dreadful effect of peer pressure.
