Pastor Stephen Grant?

Stephen Grant is the pastor at St. Mary’s Lutheran Church on eastern Long Island. Grant is one of the more unique second-career clergy around, as he once worked for the CIA. Besides theology, his interests include archery, golf, writing, classic films, the beach, poker, baseball, and history. Grant also knows his wines, champagnes and brews. Oh yes, he generally dislikes politicians, and happens to be an expert marksman with a handgun and a rifle, while being pretty handy with a combat knife as well.

3 Reasons for Reading the Pastor Stephen Grant Mysteries/Thrillers: Thumbs Up from Kirkus Reviews

Kirkus Reviews has favorably reviewed the Pastor Stephen Grant novels and short stories. Here are quotes from the most recent reviews.


1. Kirkus Reviews on SHIFTING SANDS: A PASTOR STEPHEN GRANT SHORT STORY: 

“Stephen is a well-rounded protagonist who’s skilled in combat but likewise vulnerable: He faces a bulky assailant who hardly acknowledges the pastor’s stranglehold. There’s an impressive mystery this time around, as readers may not easily discern the terrorists’ ultimate motivation or who exactly 11 is. Resolutions come to light during the rousing final act, rife with explosives, bullets, and a few bodies. Another solid thriller with the always welcome and dexterous hero.”


2. Kirkus Reviews on HEROES AND VILLAINS: A PASTOR STEPHEN GRANT SHORT STORY: 

“In this short story, Keating’s (Reagan Country, 2018, etc.) recurring cleric Stephen Grant steps up to help a popular comic-book creator targeted by armed assailants... An entertaining, immersive jaunt with a formidable protagonist.”


3. Kirkus Reviews on REAGAN COUNTRY: A PASTOR STEPHEN GRANT NOVEL: 

“The villains, meanwhile, are just as rich and engrossing as the good guys and gals. The familiar protagonist, along with sensational new and recurring characters, drives an energetic political tale.”
