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 her father talked for hours, longer than she ever remembered talking with anyone.


"On the day you graduated from the Academy, I was so proud of you. I so wanted to reach out to you, but I feared rejection and I didn't want to ruin your special day. You were so excited."


"I was, and I've followed your career all the way. I couldn't be prouder that you've chosen law enforcement . . . and that you're so damn good at it."


"No, I retired after I finished a five-year undercover assignment." His eyebrows squished together. "I am curious about why you didn't tell Zach I was in law enforcement."


"It was my immaturity and anger that stopped me from admitting I'd followed in your footsteps because it was like holding a sign up that I wanted to be just like you." The hurt look on his face made Jessie regret her comment. "I'm sorry."
