Ray Keating works two trades at once, economics writing and thriller fiction. New York by the Numbers (1997) and U.S. By the Numbers (2000) are statistical surveys, and the Weekly Economist series continues that line. Pastor Stephen Grant is the recurring character in the fiction, which runs from Warrior Monk (2010) through Root of All Evil? (2012), The River (2014), Murderer's Row (2015) and Wine Into Water (2016). An Alliance of Saint Michael and Agent Dean Cold are the other series. The 33 catalogued books reach a study of twelve 1950s science fiction films in 2025, at a median of 332 pages.
