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

Kensington-Gerard Detective Series

Jessie vaguely remembered Tony and his family lived in an apartment over top of a restaurant on Mulberry Street in New York's Little Italy. Driving slowly down the road, she pointed out the address to Zach. "Here's 127 Mulberry." 


"How convenient that Tony lives close to Central Booking." He chuckled. "I hadn't noticed that before." He laughed. Zach found a space to park, then exited the car and together, they worked their way toward the restaurant. "Damn, that Italian food is making me hungry. It feels like I haven't eaten in weeks," Zach said.


"That's because it's true. We don't eat during the day. Who the hell has time?"


"Then it's a date. We'll come here for dinner tonight."


"I'll take the fire escape; you take the stairs. I don't want this weasel going out the window when Tony sees you at the door."
