Another brand new UK cop series debuts on ABC tonight, The Level.

The six part series stars Karla Crome as Detective Sergeant Nancy Devlin as a good cop but whose connection to an underworld figure, major league drugs trafficker Frank Le Saux (Philip Glenister), risks exposure.

The series was written by Gaby Chiappe and Alex Perrin and only premiered on ITV in the last month.

A police detective finds herself at the centre of the most dangerous case of her life when she is seconded on to the investigation into the murder of a drugs trafficker. What nobody around her knows is that she is the missing witness that the police and the killer are searching for. Nancy Devlin (29) is a good cop, a Detective Sergeant with the National Crime Division. But she has a secret: an attachment to major league drugs trafficker, Frank Le Saux, who she first met as the kindly father of her best friend, Hayley. As she was growing up, Nancy came to see Frank as a father-figure and mentor, in place of her real father – an abusive, alcoholic policeman. Ever since, she’s been loyal – regularly feeding Frank information so he can avoid arrest.

When Frank is shot dead during a clandestine meeting, Nancy herself comes under threat. Drafted onto the murder investigation, she must work hard to avert suspicion while at the same time tracking down the killer. Someone is trying to take over Frank’s empire – can Nancy find out who it is before they find her?

8:30pm tonight on ABC.
