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

Max parked his bike in the driveway and ran up the steps expecting to walk inside the house without using his key. The door was locked. He sighed, pulled his backpack off his shoulders, and unzipped the front pocket where he kept the house keys. He thought his mother might be in the basement doing laundry. He called out to her, but there was no answer. The silence was deafening. It gave him an eerie feeling.


Max tried to remember if she'd told him she was going to be out, but soon realized she hadn't. He rolled his eyes, annoyed she wasn't there to greet him when he walked into the house, but then that wasn't anything new. She was rarely home these days.
