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

Walking the distance from the subway to the precinct, Jessie stopped to answer her phone. It was from Bud. "What's up?"


"We're on. The Slopers received a call. I'm pulling out of the parking lot. Stand out by the curb and hold up your hand so I don't drive past you."


"Okay," she said, feeling a little disappointed she couldn't do more on Abby's case until later, but it would have to wait. Lily Sloper came first. She saw his car and flagged him down.


"Good morning," she said, sliding across the seat. She wrapped the seat belt around her waist and snapped it into place. "Bring me up to date."
