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

It was dark outside when Lieutenant Jack Harwell parked his car in front of his home. Exhausted from a long day, he exited the vehicle. A cool rush of air breezed against his face, reminding him winter was just around the corner. He loved the cool nights, and the warm Indian summer days they'd been having. September had always been his favorite time of year when the leaves began to change color like a vivid oil painting.


He stopped to admire the maze of brilliant colors the leaves showcased in the soft glow hosted by the streetlights. Warm thoughts flooded his mind and brought him back to the happy memories of his childhood.
