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

"You look tired, Jess," Zach said. "What's wrong? Aren't you sleeping?"


"Nothing's wrong." She kept her focus on the hustle-bustle of the crowd on the sidewalk to avoid letting him get another glance at her. Ever since the episode with Harwell's wife, she'd been keeping to herself, afraid of letting on about what happened. It wasn't like she owed Harwell anything, but she didn't want him to lose his job either. Harwell had worked hard to get his promotion. If he lost his job, he wouldn't have any health insurance to care for his family. She shrugged without turning her head to face him. "Nope, life is good."


"Oh? Then why are you looking out the window instead of talking to me?" 


"Oh," she lied, "a fat woman is walking down the street wearing a tight chartreuse skirt and orange shoes. A large crowd has gathered around her, but I can't figure out why."
