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

Detective Mike Guardino was leafing through a file when Gerard and Jess arrived. The first thing Jess noticed was the massive stack of folders neatly piled on the corner of his desk, a familiar sight on most detectives' desks. He stood and extended his hand to Gerard.


Guardino hugged Jessie. "Tell me what you know about Vincent and how she relates to your case."


"Well, we have a victim who had a tryst with this Morton guy two years ago. He was at one time, a best friend of the victim's husband."


"He even lived with them. Based on our investigation and what we know so far, everything is pointing to him. He had the means, the motive, and the opportunity. That's when Velma Vincent's name came up. We wanted to talk to him, but he's been ghosting us."


"I understand," Guardino said. "We've had him on our radar for a while now, waiting for him to make one false move."


"Why were you investigating him?" Zach asked.
