Espionage, romance, murder, Islamist terrorism, environmental extremists, church suppers, New York cops, revisionist theology, adultery, religious reactionaries, divorce, papal missions, organized crime, the press conference Mrs. Spitzer did not give, every congregation's usual suspects, conspiracy, the obligations of chastity, sleazy politicians, the geography of Long Island, police procedural, camaraderie among the clergy, obnoxious news media types, Christian ethics, the new ecumenism, and the real housewives of the Suffolk County suburbs… all in one single novel? Well, yes. Veteran business journalist (and, let us mention in the interest of full disclosure, an ALPB board member) Ray Keating has combined them all in his first work of fiction, Warrior Monk, a trail of tears and laughter up and down the Long Island Expressway.
