NEW DRAMA

Frankie Drake Mysteries

TUESDAY / ALIBI / 9.00PM

While Emilia Fox is revelling in her 14th series of Silent Witness (see page 20), her cousin, Lewis star Laurence Fox, is also returning to the world of detection in Alibi’s Frankie Drake Mysteries.

Set in 1920s Toronto, the drama follows spirited sleuth Frankie (Lauren Lee Smith) and her partner Trudy Clarke (Chantel Riley) at Drake Private Detectives, the city’s only all-female detective agency.

In this week’s opening episode, Frankie investigates the kidnapping of an aviator’s baby and encounters charming mechanic Greg Mills, played by Laurence, 39.
