About the author

Ronald S. Barak

<p>Biography</p><p>Described by his readers as a cross between Agatha Christie, Lee Child, and John Lescroart, bestselling author Ron Barak keeps his readers flipping the pages into the wee hours of the night. While he mostly lets his characters tell his stories, he does manage to get his licks in too.<br /> <br /> Barak derives great satisfaction in knowing that his books not only entertain but also stimulate others to think about how things might be, how people can actually resolve real-world problems. In particular, Barak tackles the country&rsquo;s dysfunctional government representatives&mdash;not just back-seat driving criticism for the sake of being a back-seat driver, but truly framing practical remedies to the political abuse and corruption adversely affecting too many people&rsquo;s lives today. Barak&rsquo;s extensive legal background and insight allow him to cleverly cross-pollinate his fiction and today&rsquo;s sad state of political reality.<br /> <br /> In his latest novel, THE AMENDMENT KILLER, Barak calls upon his real-world legal ingenuity and skill to craft a 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution criminalizing political abuse and corruption that Constitutional scholars across the country are heralding as a highly plausible answer to the political chaos destroying the very moral fiber of the country today. It&rsquo;s difficult to read THE AMENDMENT KILLER and not imagine what could&mdash;and should&mdash;be expected and demanded of those political leaders who have forgotten they are there to serve and not be served.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> Barak is singularly qualified to have authored THE AMENDMENT KILLER, which will appeal to political and legal thriller aficionados alike. Barak is a law school honors graduate and a former Olympic athlete. While still in law school, he authored a bill introduced in Congress that overnight forced the settlement of a decades-long dispute between the NCAA and the AAU to control amateur athletics in the United States.<br /> <br /> &nbsp;</p>
