The Chamber

Description:
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.
Adam decided to become a lawyer soon after his father committed suicide on the day that Sam was convicted of murder in Mississippi. Adam is determined to argue a stay for his grandfather, in spite of Sam's violent past, because Sam is one of the few living links to his family's history. Sam and his daughter Lee Cayhall (Adam's aunt) reveal the sad, brutal history of their family.
Initially uncooperative, Sam eventually opens up to Adam, and it transpires that Sam did not in fact commit the actual crime for which he has been found guilty. Nevertheless, he has a long and largely secret history of Klan-related crime and has killed several times. As Adam desperately argues motion after motion, the story moves to its last moments.
The novel combines elements of legal commentary and suspense to fully illustrate the complications surrounding various legal issues, such as the death penalty and racism.

Skipping Christmas

Description: Imagine a year without Christmas. No crowded malls, no corny office parties, no fruitcakes, no unwanted presents. That's just what Luther and Nora Krank have in mind when they decide that, just this once, they'll skip the holiday altogether. Theirs will be the only house on Hemlock Street without a rooftop Frosty; they won't be hosting the annual Christmas Eve bash; they aren't even going to have a tree. They won't need one, because come December 25 they're setting sail on a Caribbean cruise. But, as this couple is about to discover, skipping Christmas brings enormous consequences - and isn't half as easy as they'd imagined.
