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

Jessie gasped and ran toward Gerard but Guardino pulled her back. "Stop, Mike, I need to get to him."


"Jessie, you're only going to wind up getting shot. This guy isn't messing around."


"I'll crawl over to him." She began to cry. "Please, Mike, I need to be with him. He needs to know how I feel about him." She stopped talking when she saw SWAT arrive and cover the EMT's while they got Gerard's body off the front lawn. They lifted him onto the stretcher and carried him toward the vehicle.


Guardino looked over at her and nodded in the direction. "Go."


"The suspect is highly irritated," Guardino told the SWAT team leader who'd just arrived. "Gerard's been communicating with the mother throughout the day. He used the dying man in the house who's on Hospice as his excuse. He didn't want to wait for you guys to show up and thought he could talk the subject down."
