Telemystery: Alcatraz Premieres Monday, January 16th on Fox

The mystery/thriller television drama Alcatraz premieres tomorrow, Monday January 16th at 8 PM (ET/PT) on Fox.

The series stars Sarah Jones as SFPD detective Rebecca Madsen, and in the 2-hour pilot is assigned to a grisly homicide case. A fingerprint found at the scene leads her to a seemingly impossible suspect: Jack Sylvane, an inmate at Alcatraz, who died over 30 years ago. Her interest piqued, she begins an investigation, only to have an enigmatic government agent, Emerson Hauser (Sam Neill), impede her every step of the way.

She soon finds herself working with an unlikely partner, Alcatraz expert and comic book enthusiast Diego "Doc" Soto (Jorge Garcia). Together they uncover what seems to be impossible: Sylvane is not only alive, but he's loose on the streets of San Francisco, exacting decades-old revenge and leaving bodies in his wake.

As they work to stop Sylvane's killing spree, they discover that he is only a small part of a much larger, more sinister present-day threat. Because even though he may be the first, it quickly becomes clear that Sylvane won’t be the last to reappear from Alcatraz.

Watch a promo for Doc Soto's book Inmates of Alcatraz and a first look featurette below.
