Shifting Sands

SHIFTING SANDS is the second page-turning short story by award-winning novelist Ray Keating, and the tenth thriller/mystery featuring Pastor Stephen Grant. Beach volleyball is about fun, sun and sand. But when a big-time tournament arrives on a pier in New York City, danger and international intrigue are added to the mix. Stephen Grant, a former Navy SEAL, onetime CIA operative, and current pastor, is on the scene with his wife, friends and former CIA colleagues. While battles on the volleyball court play out, deadly struggles between good and evil are engaged on and off the sand. Keating weaves together a fascinating tale of action, faith, humor, terrorism, duty, friendship, conflict, and beach volleyball. Consider what Kirkus Reviews has said about previous Pastor Stephen Grant adventures..."An entertaining, immersive jaunt with a formidable protagonist." - on HEROES AND VILLAINS"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." - on REAGAN COUNTRY"The narrative's swift momentum is retained even during profound moments..." - on LIONHEARTS"A first-rate mystery makes this a series standout..." - on WINE INTO WATER"Action fans will find plenty to love here, from gunfights and murder sprees to moral dilemmas." - on MURDERER'S ROW"A gritty, action-stuffed, well-considered thriller with a gun-toting clergyman." - on THE RIVER
