The listing, The Chamber (novel) has ended.
The Chamber (1994) is a legal thriller written by American author John Grisham.
The Chamber, set largely in and around the Mississippi State Penitentiary, is the story of Sam Cayhall, a former Klansman who has been convicted of murder and sentenced to death by gas chamber 20 years after his bombing of a Jewish lawyer's office.
Cayhall's sentence has so far been held up by legal maneuvering, but with all his appeals exhausted, he has weeks to live.
His grandson Adam Hall, a lawyer (whose father Eddie changed his family's name because of the disgraceful family history), journeys south from Chicago to represent Sam in the final month before the date of execution.
