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

When Gabi Sawyer answered the door at Maria Alexander's house, she looked like she hadn't sleep in days.


"Hi, Gabi," Detective Kensington said, the tightness constricted in her chest at the sight of this young child's expression.


"We're working very hard to find her, sweetheart," she answered. Gabi lowered her head. Anger made Jessie's stomach feel sick, and she quickly turned around to take in a deep breath of fresh air. Her hand went to her midriff, and she inhaled deeply. 


"Is your dad here?" Detective Gerard took the lead. 


Gabi backed away from the open door and called out to her father, her voice barely audible. "Dad."


Sawyer rushed down the stairs, shot a stern look at his daughter, and chastised her. "Did you check to see who was outside before you opened the door, young lady?"


"What's up, Detectives?" he asked in an upbeat tone. "Do you have news about my wife?"
