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

Jessie checked the clock on the wall in the office and noted it was eleven-thirty. "Hey, what time was Jennifer Smith scheduled to come in this morning for questioning?"


"Ten o'clock." Realizing Jennifer hadn't shown up, Zach was annoyed. He was trying to solve her mother's murder. His palms rose. "She's either skipped town because she's guilty or she's irresponsible and blew us off..."


"Or she's been abducted," Jessie said, cutting him off. She flipped through the list of phone numbers and called Charlene Miller. "Mrs. Miller, Detective Kensington here. We were expecting Jennifer here at the precinct for questioning at ten o'clock this morning, but she hasn't shown up."


"She hasn't?" Charlene's panicked voice echoed through the receiver. "I watched her get into the cab this morning at nine o'clock."


"Was she planning to go anywhere else first?"


"No. Not that I know of. Oh my God, do you think something has happened to her?"
