"Past Lives" is the New Pastor Stephen Grant Adventure from Award-Winning Novelist Ray Keating

MANORVILLE, N.Y. - EntSun -- Kirkus Reviews has called Ray Keating's Pastor Stephen Grant "an engaging and multifaceted character" and "a consistently entertaining hero." And now, this latest adventure, Past Lives: A Pastor Stephen Grant Short Story, is told from Grant's own viewpoint, unfolding each day in the pages of his journal.

Pastor Grant tells about threats, murder and puzzling people from his past. It's a compelling mystery involving action, unexpected turns, lost innocence, and twisted revenge.

Regarding Past Lives, Self-Publishing Review says, "Ray Keating takes a new angle on his long-time hero in Past Lives. A mysterious enemy from the past comes back to haunt the warrior priest in this uniquely styled first-person story. As the clues mount, so does the body count, giving Grant yet another baffling and high-stakes case to unravel. This condensed mystery is enjoyably gripping, and marked by the author's characteristic style of suspense."
