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

Zach entered the busy gallery of Native Art and saw Alex Cavanaugh behind the counter, checking out a customer's purchase. He walked to him.


"And where's your lovely wife?" he asked, looking over Zach's shoulder to find her.


Zach liked the sounds of that 'wife' reference, but he couldn't think about that now. "She had to get back to work," Zach said. "Listen, do you have someplace we can talk in private?"


Alex gave him a questionable frown. "To talk about moving here to New Mexico?" His words came out in a rush as he gestured to the number of customers meandering around the gallery. "Because I need to take care of them before I can chat."


"No." Zach discreetly held out his shield, causing Alex to jerk back in shock. "This is something more urgent...it's about Justin," Zach said.


Alex stared in shock upon hearing his son's name. "You found him dead?"


 "Please, Alex, can we go somewhere to talk? Unless you want the world to know your business."
