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

Two black and white cruisers followed behind the two detectives to the Sawyer residence at 634 W 87th Street.


"Boy, I wouldn't mind living in this neighborhood," Jessie said when they pulled up in front of the mansion. "We're obviously in the wrong field."


"How about we pool our money together and go into the car dealership business?" Jess suggested.


Zach laughed. "I might have enough to get a chop shop going, but that's about it." He turned to Jessie. "Hey, does that mean you and me are a thing?"


"Not a chance, hotshot. We aren't anything."


"Are you saying the other night was just a try-out?"


"No. The other night was a mistake." There. It was out. She'd finally said it.
