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

Guardino was waiting by his car with a team of detectives when the pair arrived. Noticing Farino was missing, Gerard questioned it. "Where's your buddy?"


Guardino laughed. "He's no buddy of mine. They say he's out on another investigation, but on his way," Guardino said.


"Well, I'm not waiting for him to arrive. I want to avoid a hostage situation here if at all possible. If Morton senses he's being cornered, he'll come out like he's on the battlefield. Has SWAT arrived?"


"They're already on their way, Detective," one of the locals said. "And Detective Farino would prefer that you wait for his arrival."


His comment set Gerard off. "Would he now? Detective, what is your rank?"
