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

Riddled with guilt, Zach sat very still and contemplated calling his father back. The man had already called three times. What exactly did he want him to do? Get on his knees and beg forgiveness? He pursed his lips; Ônot a bad idea' rushed through his mind. No, he couldn't do that, but something was telling him to call. When his mother's picture fell from his lap and crashed to the floor, the glass shattered into a million pieces. He took that as a sign and dialed his father's number. Alan answered it on the first ring. When he heard his father's voice, he tried to call him dad, but the words got caught in his throat.


"Sorry sir, I didn't mean to cut you short. I'm working on a big case and it was an important call."
