Assembled here in a convenient eBook bundle are three of his classic thrillers:<i>The Firm, </i>the runaway hit that ignited his writing career, <i>The Appeal, </i>and <i>The</i> <i>Chamber</i>. Read back-to-back or enjoyed separately, these edge-of-your-seat novels show why John Grisham isâEuro"beyond a reasonable doubtâEuro"one of the most beloved authors of all time.<br><br><b>THE FIRM</b><br><br>When Mitch McDeere signed on with Bendini, Lambert &amp; Locke of Memphis, he thought that he and his beautiful wife, Abby, were on their way. The firm leased him a BMW, paid off his school loans, arranged a mortgage, and hired the McDeeres a decorator. Mitch should have remembered what his brother RayâEuro"doing fifteen years in a Tennessee jailâEuro"already knew: You never get nothing for nothing. Now the FBI has the lowdown on MitchâEuros firm and needs his help. Mitch is caught between a rock and a hard place, with no choiceâEuro"if he wants to live.<br><br><b>THE APPEAL</b><br><br>In a crowded courtroom in Mississippi, a jury returns a shocking verdict against a chemical company accused of dumping toxic waste into a small townâEuros water supply, causing the worst âEuro²cancer cluster" in history. The company appeals to the Mississippi Supreme Court, whose nine justices will one day either approve the verdictâEuro"or reverse it. The chemical company is owned by a Wall Street predator named Carl Trudeau, and Mr. Trudeau is convinced the Court is not friendly enough to his interests. With judicial elections looming, he decides to try to purchase himself a seat on the Court. The cost is a few million dollars, a drop in the bucket for a billionaire like Mr. Trudeau. Through an intricate web of conspiracy and deceit, his political operatives recruit a young, unsuspecting candidate. They finance him, manipulate him, market him, and mold him into a potential Supreme Court justice.<i>Their</i> Supreme Court justice.<br><br><b>THE CHAMBER</b><br><br>In ChicagoâEuros top law firm, a young lawyer stands on the brink of a brilliant career.

Cayhall has run out of chancesâEuro"except for one: a determined lawyer who just happens to be his grandson. While the executioners prepare the gas chamber, while the protesters gather, and while the TV cameras wait, Adam has only days, hours, minutes to save his client. For between the two men is a chasm of shame, family lies, and secretsâEuro"including the one secret that could save Sam CayhallâEuros life . . . or cost Adam his.
