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

Jessie pulled her cell phone out of her pocket on her way back to the car and punched in Sawyer's phone number. "Humph," she said, "Marti was right. Sawyer's phone is disconnected." Her face formed into a scowl.


"A disconnected phone number. Why would he do that?" The scowl deepened. "Especially if his wife is away and doesn't have her own phone. This is sounding fishy -- like he's trying to hide something."


 "Okay, let's see what our computer analyst can find out about Sawyer's family tree." Jessie put the phone on speaker and gave Zach a devilish grin. "I think you should talk to her. You know how much she loves you." 


"Oh yeah, I'd forgotten just how much," he winked. His mouth creased into a smile when Crystal answered. "Hey, pretty lady, Gerard here."


"Ooh, sexy man," she purred. Zach glanced over at Jessie and stifled his laughter. "I've been waiting for your call. Whatcha got for me."
