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

Zach made his customary Starbucks stop for coffee and something sweet before heading for the Pelham Parkway station. The US Marshal Service had invited him to sit in on the meeting with Jake and Irene's official entry into the Witness Security Program, as it was formally known. Zach knew the invitation had been extended to him strictly as a courtesy to give Jake some minor comfort by having another familiar face in the room. His life was about to be turned upside down once more. Since the meeting was scheduled for ten o'clock, and at the southern tip of Manhattan, he decided he would take the subway as opposed to fighting the traffic. He was already feeling a little apprehensive about the turn of events in this poor eleven-year old's life.
