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 barreled down the hall toward Zach and Harwell. "You are not going to believe who just called," she said breathlessly.


"And?" Harwell said, his hand twirling in a circular motion, "what did he say?"


"Hot damn!" Zach said with effervescence. "Chalk another one up for our team. Where are we meeting him?"


"He wants us to meet him at six o'clock by the Vincent van Gogh exhibit in the Metropolitan Museum of Art."


"Where?" Zach's voice raised an octave.


"No. And it was his idea. How about that?"


"I guess that's the last place anyone would ever suspect he'd be."


"Good," Harwell said, "get out of here and get his story."


"Did you check the museum's hours of operation?" Zach asked. "I think they close at five-thirty tonight."


"No, they're open until nine o'clock on Fridays and Saturdays."
