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 meant to tell you I tried reaching Morton, Sr. last night," Zach said at breakfast.


"What about the government car from the funeral?" Jess asked.


"They found the car pulled off on the side of the highway," he said. "And by the time the highway patrol discovered the vehicle everything had already been stripped off...no recognizable prints after the vultures got done with it." 


 "It appears that way. As for Morton, Sr., I added him to the CPD list for protection even though we haven't spoken." He picked up the receiver of the phone. "While I'm thinking about it, I'm going to try him again." 


Jess opened her mouth to speak, but he raised his finger to stop her and punched in the phone number, nodding when the man answered. "Mr. Morton, my name is Zach Gerard from the NYPD. I'm calling about your son, Ralph."


"Like I told the other detective, I can't help you. I haven't seen him in years, nor do I want to see that loser."
