What are the books about?

Meet detectives Zach Jordan and Kylie MacDonald, both members of the NYPD Red, a special task force that protects the wealthiest people, politics, and celebrities in the city of Manhattan.
Zach and Kylie’s relationship is kinda complicated because not only they are work partners but they also happened to be in a relationship. Sometimes their past will get in their way, while other times it will be their kinda unorthodox way of solving the cases that may make them get in some trouble with their superiors.
In the first volume in the series, they will have assigned a very peculiar case: a world-renowned movie producer has been poisoned during a film festival in Manhattan, and this will be the beginning of a series of murders. Will the NYPD Red be able to stop these crimes and find the murderer?
