Tricia Helfer has joined ABC's "Killer Women."

According to TVLine, Helfer will play the lead role of Molly Parker, the only female Ranger in the male-dominated Texas Rangers. Look for the character to ruffle a few feathers on her quest for the truth.

"Modern Family" star Sofia Vergara is a producer on the project, which is based on Argentina's "Mujeres Asesinas." Hannah Shakespeare of "The Playboy Club" wrote the script.
