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 twisted her long red hair and piled it atop her head, clipped it into place, and covered it with her NYPD baseball cap before exiting their vehicle. She'd learned long ago to cover her head when working a crime scene that was in a smelly tunnel or similar setting because she'd walk away smelling as bad as it did. 


This particular tunnel was used by Amtrak and often crowded with vagrants who had managed to sneak in for the night before the police raided the area and chased them away. But that didn't last very long because as soon as the police were gone, they'd return until the next raid. 


Together, the four detectives climbed up a small hill between the off-ramp and the train tracks where a uniformed cop stood at the entrance. Several vehicles were parked along the path leading to the tunnel.


"Boy, I'll bet Amtrak is ticked off they had to redirect their trains," Wells said.
