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

"What about our guy? Did he show up? And did you check the background of each one on the list?"


"I'm in the process of doing that now."


"I'm pulling up to the back door," Zach said. "Get your coat. We're going to the house to see what we can find with Jake's DNA on it."


"Are you thinking something's rotten in Denmark?"


"Not at the moment. This kid idolized his father. If there was anything fishy, don't you think he would have told me after his father died? He'd have nothing to hide nor family to dispute it."


"That's true. I suppose not." McGee clicked off his phone as he walked out through the double doors and got into the car. "Good morning."


"Did we get anything from ballistics yet?"
