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 and Sorrentino walked up the marble steps and through the massive doors of The Louis J. Lefkowitz State Office Building, known as City Hall. They were there to question the mayor.


Showing their shields to the security guard, they each relinquished their firearm in his custody and continued through the checkpoint. While she waited for Sorrentino, Jessie wondered how the mayor was going to feel about being ambushed. She was confident he wouldn't take kindly to it.


Under normal circumstances, she would have scheduled an appointment, but given his history and friendship with the McCormicks, she wanted his initial responses unrehearsed and not prepared by counsel. Now that she knew the rumors about his infidelity were true, there was a strong possibility he'd construct some elaborate lie. Still, she knew if she listened carefully, he was bound to reveal some kernels of truth they didn't have before. At least, that was her hope.
