Fifth Book in Pastor
Stephen Grant Series Wins KFUO “BookTalk” Award
Long Island,
NY – MURDERER’S ROW: A PASTOR STEPHEN GRANT NOVEL by Ray Keating won “Book of
the Year 2015” as awarded by “BookTalk” on KFUO radio.
Ten books
were nominated for the KFUO “Book of the Year,” and listeners were able to
vote. While making the announcement, Rod Zwonitzer, host of “BookTalk,” said
this year saw a record number of votes, and it was an extremely tight race
between the four top vote getters.
Ray Keating
said, “I am stunned and blessed. Thank you to Rod Zwonitzer and KFUO; to all of
my friends and readers who voted for MURDERER'S ROW; to my family for their
support, love and most assuredly, patience; and to God for everything,
including the joy of writing. This is particularly humbling given KFUO’s
Christian mission.”
MURDERER’S
ROW is a gripping, thoughtful thriller that ties together rescuing a Christian
family from the clutches of Islamic terrorists, minor league baseball in New
York, a string of grisly murders, sordid politics, and a pastor who formerly
was a Navy SEAL and CIA operative.
About
MURDERER’S ROW, Kirkus Reviews says, “The author packs a lot into this
frantically paced novel... a raft of action sequences and baseball games are
thrown into the mix. The multiple villains and twists raise the stakes...
Stephen remains an engaging and multifaceted character: he may still use,
when necessary, the violence associated with his former professions, but he at
least acknowledges his shortcomings--and prays about it. Action fans will find
plenty to love here, from gunfights and murder sprees to moral dilemmas.”
SeriousReading.com
proclaims, “This novel is a fascinating read with a murder mystery, unique and
exceptional characters, and wit... With multiple layers and a complex plot, the
novel moves forward with a smooth and even pace.”
And the Lutheran
Book Review observes, “I miss Tom Clancy. Keating fills that void for me.”
This is the
second year in a row that Keating has had a book nominated, as THE RIVER: A
PASTOR STEPHEN GRANT NOVEL was a KFUO “Book of the Year” finalist in 2014.
MURDERER’S
ROW: A PASTOR STEPHEN GRANT NOVEL is available in trade paperback and for the
Kindle from Amazon.com
Ray Keating’s
previous books include THE RIVER: A PASTOR STEPHEN GRANT NOVEL, AN ADVENT FOR
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY: A PASTOR STEPHEN GRANT NOVEL, ROOT OF ALL EVIL? A PASTOR
