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

Harlan opened the door. His appearance surprised her. "Are you okay, Mr. Hawkins?" she asked when she noticed he was an unshaven wrinkled mess indicating he'd been sleeping in his clothing. Despite what she knew about his narcissistic personality, she did feel sorry for him. He was a fallen man. "Detective Kensington, come in." He eyed Morgan suspiciously. "And who is this woman?"


"This is Detective Bradshaw. She's filling in for my partner who's still in the hospital."


"Yes, I was sorry to hear about what happened to him. I'm sure glad that fucker, Morton, is dead though. I hope he rots in hell." He shook his head in dismay. "I can't believe Ralph was dumb enough to copy a well-known killer. He had the manifesto with all their names on it, so why the hell did he kill Jennifer? She wasn't on the list, was she?"
