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

Detective Jessie Kensington filled her mug with hot coffee and weaved through the crowded department back to her desk opposite her new partner, Bud Reece. File cabinets lined the walls from one end to the other, a stack of file folders piled on top in a messy, disorganized manner. She'd seen them a million times, but today the disorganization stuck in her craw, resentful that she'd left the two-one for this place. She sipped the coffee and made a face...its burnt taste lingering on her tongue, she popped a piece of peppermint gum into her mouth instead.
