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

"I don't trust him to tell you the truth," Zach said. "And it's not because of what he did for Officer Ramirez, but he keeps showing up in the most unexpected places." 


"Oh, really? Then make sure you put those occurrences on the list next to his name. Okay, is there anyone else that comes to mind?" 


The office door opened, and everyone turned to see who was entering. "Sorry to interrupt, Detectives," Pauline, Harwell's secretary, entered the office. "Lieutenant, I think you should take this call."


"Yes, Lieutenant. I can see that. But Sara Milligan is on the line saying the sketch of the unidentified woman posted around the borough is her sister."


Zach stood. "Sit," Harwell said. "We'll all listen to the call." He pushed the speaker button. "This is Lieutenant Harwell."
