Wicked Things #4

WICKED THINGS #4, available this Wednesday from Boom! Box continues the tale of Lottie Grote, the best underage investigator around. Sure, she’s currently serving time for a crime she didn’t’ commit, but she still loves the thrill of a case.

Lottie hasn’t had a great streak of luck, as of late. Once upon a time, she had been the best young detective around. Now she’s being ignored by the police, while supposedly being assigned to help them solve cases. How’d she got into this mess? By being framed for murder. The irony is not lost on her.

The police she’s been assigned to work with are no happier about the situation than she is. Perhaps that’s why they were so inclined to ignore her, throwing off her theories as a desperate attempt to get attention. Or freedom.

Too bad that Lottie’s quickly formed theory is more accurate than they could have ever expected. If only they had listened, they might have been ahead of this case, rather than struggling to catch up, and failing.
