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

"I understand you want to see me, Jess?" Lieutenant Webster said.


"I have a feeling I know what this is about, and I have to say, I'm not going to be happy when I hear you say it."


Jess quirked her head to the side. "You should know this decision did not come easy. I've struggled trying to decide what to do but I have to do what's best for my sanity." She smiled. "I appreciate that you found a slot within the department for me, but I can't take the heartache of the losses. I'd be fine if I could view this as a job, but that's not who I am. I can't turn off the emotions when a kid goes missing and winds up dead or chopped up into little pieces. Not when the majority of cases are the abductions of small children. Sure, the happy endings are wonderful, but those are too few and far between. I guess the hardest part right now is going to be leaving my peers, whom I've come to like. I belong in homicide."
