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

He kept a close eye on her and brought up the subject of their case. "I'm having a hard time figuring the commonality between Morton and this guy, whoever it turns out to be." They stepped into the elevator at headquarters and pushed the up button. "I told you I did another profile on the Reaper last night to familiarize myself with his file. I remembered bits and pieces, like the fact that he kills only redheads..." He stopped and held her gaze for a moment. "Look, here's the difference. He killed twenty-five women at random; Morton's killing people he knows."


Jess swallowed hard. "Do you think he was in my house?"
