Product Description
Cayhall, a death row prisoner, is a Ku Klux Clansman convicted in 1967 of the murder of two Jewish children. A lawyer takes over his case, and discovers new evidence that might save Cayhall. Unknown to Cayhall, the lawyer is his grandchild, who vowed to meet the man who destroyed his family.
Amazon.com Review
At first listen, the narration of this abridged version of John Grisham's The Chamber seems flat and uninvolved. But Michael Beck has chosen his vocal style well, purposely eschewing unnecessary adornment and allowing this searing indictment of racism and murder to unfold on its own terms. Beck uses character voices sparingly, adding subtle emphasis to the already charged plot. The story begins with a Klan-sponsored bombing and then traces a trail of rigged acquittals stretching over three decades, until a young lawyer with secrets of his own brings the case to a powerful conclusion. (Running time: 6 hours, 4 cassettes) --George Laney
