Into the Mind of a Cold-Blooded Killer

I just finished John Grisham's The Chamber, about a young lawyer named Adam Hall who is climbing the corporate ladder at Chicago's presigious Kravitz & Bane law firm when he decides to take a pro bono case as defense attorny to a convict on death row. Sam Cayhall is headed for Mississippi's Parchman, the infamous gas chamber but is he really as guilty as they believe? Grisham leads the reader closer to his execution the way Dante leads readers through The Inferno.  As Adam tries to uncover the truth about who Sam Cayhall really is, he takes the reader inside the mind of a cold-blooded killer. Grisham makes a poignant statement about why the death penalty is denounced as a cruel form of punishment by many countries, and why it is still enforced in the United States. This is a very compelling read, and hard-to-put-down book!
