"We have your granddaughter. Here's what you need to do."
That's the text message Supreme Court Justice Arnold Hirschfeld receives as hearings commence in the US Supreme Court to determine the fate of the 28th Amendment - enacted to criminalize abuse of power on the part of our political representatives.
In court to defend the amendment, retired US District Court Judge Cyrus Brooks observes his old friend and law school classmate Hirschfeld acting strangely and dispatches veteran D.C. homicide detective Frank Lotello to find out why.
In the meantime, Hirschfeld's precocious and feisty 11-year-old diabetic granddaughter, Cassie, brutally kidnapped to control her grandfather's swing vote upholding or invalidating the amendment, watches her insulin pump running dry and wonders which poses her greatest threat, the kidnappers or the clock. Brooks is forced to choose between saving our nation or saving the girl.

Good but not great

Most of the book is very good but there are parts that are real eye rollers. It's those parts that I found so unbelievable. I know this is fiction and i did complete this book and the ending was great.
I checked out the five star reviews on goodreads but I noticed that they had all (or most ) been provided with a free copy in exchange for their "unbiased" five star opinion.
If you found this review helpful please indicate so.
Thank You.
I'm on the fence with this one...

This novel sets up a situation whereby a hypothetical 28th Amendment is passed using a democratic process that completely bypasses the US Congress. The Congress then sues to have the 28th Amendment invalidated. The case gets to the US Supreme Court. The questions involve does Congress have standing to sue and if it does is the new 28th Amendment valid or invalid. The 11 year old granddaughter of a Supreme Court justice is kidnapped and her life is threatened unless the justice is able to get a court majority to rule that Congress has standing and that the 28th amendment is invalid.
The contents of the amendment really do not matter for purposes of the court case but it safe to say that at least 90% of US citizens would agree with it.
The current Audible average rating of The Amendment Killer is 3.5 stars with only 4 ratings. There have been 92 ratings at Amazon with the average rating being 4.7 stars. The Goodreads average rating is 4.41 stars with 90 ratings. Me? I love this novel!
Utterly fascinating political/legal thriller!
