The Kensington-Gerard Detective series follows the careers of NYPD Homicide Detectives Jessie Kensington and her partner Zachary Gerard as they fight crime in the city that never sleeps. Jessie is a good detective, but is damaged with commitment issues that have a fearsome grip on her present. Gerard’s been around law all his life as seen through the eyes of his father, a hotshot attorney with a reputation for racking up not guilty verdicts on his son’s cases. That only adds to their already tenuous relationship.
Greed, betrayal, sexual tension, threats on their lives, abductions, and missing witnesses makes for an ongoing parade of cases that seem unsolvable, but the fascination of seeing the evidence mount, regardless of setbacks, the pieces of the puzzle always seem to fit into a nice neat little package. In the end, persistence on Zach’s part opens Jessie’s mind to the fullness of a life her heritage has denied her. THE KENSINGTON-GERARD DETECTIVE SERIES IS CREATED BY K. T. ROBERTS

"Whoa," Zach said, "he's terrified." Zach shook his head. "I can't believe how much he's aged since the last time we saw him."


"Yeah, he does look a lot older. He has dark circles under his eyes. Did you notice that?"


"I did. Maybe Tony's wife is keeping him up at night." Zach winked at her.


 "Well, something is keeping him up at night, but I don't think it's his wife. He knows something about Lenny's death." 


"Okay," Zach said, "let's get back in the car and wait for him down the street, out of sight. I have my doubts about him coming to the station house." 


They returned to their vehicle without comment. Zach eased the car away from the curb and turned in her direction. "You like that bad cop shit, don't you?"


"I do," she said with conviction. "That's to show the creeps I'm no pushover."


He chuckled. "You like to make these guys toe the line."
