Clues & Culprits › Rogues’ Gallery › Frank
Frank
Thirty years on the force. Still can't switch off.
Enforcer — Keeps order. Notices who is where.
In their own words
“I'd have had this wrapped up by lunch.”
“Rookie mistake, lining us up alphabetically.”
“Back in my day we had a hunch and a notebook.”
“In my day at the Yard, we'd have had this solved by teatime.”— in Victorian London, 1888
Characters’ asides never contain clues. In a case, only their statements count as evidence.
Case record
Frank has stood in 20 lineups so far, as a village constable, a estate guard, a customs officer, a security guard, a security officer, a marine guard and more. Whether they were guilty is something you’ll have to prove for yourself.

Track record
In the 18 cases old enough to have a published walkthrough, Frank turned out to be a criminal 5 times and innocent 13 times. Roughly what you would expect by chance: a past record is never evidence in Clues & Culprits. Today’s and yesterday’s cases are left out so nothing is spoiled.
