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

Entering work the next morning, Jessie felt as though she'd just left the office. She no sooner walked in the door when Sergeant Williams announced the arrival of Alvarez.


"Put him in one of the interrogation rooms and get a hold of Detective Walker. I'll be there shortly."


Fifteen minutes passed before Jessie entered the room. Alvarez and Detective Walker stopped talking when she shut the door. The gloating expression on his face irritated her to the core, but she wasn't about to give him the satisfaction of knowing. She nodded for Walker to turn on the recorder. After reciting her spiel, she turned back to him, and the first words out of his mouth pissed her off.


"I told you I wasn't guilty," he said before she'd had a chance to say anything.


'Yes, you did, but just because you were released doesn't mean you didn't commit the crime. It just means the prosecutor didn't do his job very well."
