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

 Jessie watched Zach exit the building after questioning his witness. "How'd you make out?" she asked.


"Yeah, same with mine. Are you ready to head back to interview the husband?"


In the car, they barely said two words to one another. Regardless of her need to strike up a conversation with him, she hesitated. His responses had been extremely sarcastic. This fact convinced her it probably wasn't a good idea to push her luck. But despite her cautionary self-talking, she couldn't help herself. "Have dinner with me tonight?" she whispered while walking inside the precinct toward the interrogation room.


"Nah, I think I'll pass," Zach said, shaking his head.


"Zach, stop being a shit and have dinner with me. I want to talk."


His brow arched. "Why? So you can feel better about walking out on me?"
