false 5355 52 "The decision to bomb the office of the radical Jew lawyer was reached with relative ease." So begins Grisham's legal leviathan <I>The Chamber</I>, a 676-page tome that scrutinizes the death penalty and all of its nuances--from racially motivated murder to the cruel and unusual effects of a malfunctioning gas chamber. <p> Adam Hall is a 26-year-old attorney, fresh out of law school and working at the best firm in Chicago. He might have been humming Timbuk 3's big hit, "The Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades," if it wasn't for his psychotic Southern grandfather, Sam Cayhall. Cayhall, a card-carrying member of the KKK, is on death row for killing two men. Knowing his uncle will surely die without his legal expertise, Hall comes to the rescue and puts his dazzling career at stake, while digging up a barnyard of skeletons from his family's past. Grisham fans expecting the typical action-packed plot should ready themselves for a slower pace, well-fleshed-out characters, and heavy doses of sentimentalism. 1254155 book 1994 The Chamber total:12774|5:1780|4:3892|3:5230|2:1558|1:314| 12774 43588 15071 318 4 1 false false Sat Jul 26 10:22:01 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 26 10:27:41 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 1 false false Thu Mar 12 15:20:07 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 12 15:20:39 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Feb 18 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 18 03:23:02 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 18 03:24:18 -0800 2009 The chamber told a story that Sam Cayhall led two explosives.
