Three Classic Thrillers: The Firm, The Appeal and The Chamber
by John GrishamThe #1 New York Times bestselling master of legal suspense, John Grisham has electrified readers with his white-knuckle narratives for more than two decades. Assembled here in a convenient eBook bundle are three of his classic thrillers: The Firm, the runaway hit that ignited his writing career, The Appeal, and The Chamber. Read back-to-back or enjoyed separately, these edge-of-your-seat novels show why John Grisham is — beyond a reasonable doubt — one of the most beloved authors of all time. THE FIRM When Mitch McDeere signed on with Bendini, Lambert & 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 Ray—doing fifteen years in a Tennessee jail—already knew: You never get nothing for nothing. Now the FBI has the lowdown on Mitch’s firm and needs his help. Mitch is caught between a rock and a hard place, with no choice — if he wants to live. THE APPEAL In a crowded courtroom in Mississippi, a jury returns a shocking verdict against a chemical company accused of dumping toxic waste into a small town’s water supply, causing the worst “cancer cluster” in history. The company appeals to the Mississippi Supreme Court, whose nine justices will one day either approve the verdict — 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. Their Supreme Court justice. THE CHAMBER In Chicago’s top law firm, a young lawyer stands on the brink of a brilliant career. Now twenty-six-year-old Adam Hall is risking it all for a death-row killer and an impossible case: Sam Cayhall is a former Klansman and unrepentant racist facing the death penalty for a fatal bombing in 1967. Cayhall has run out of chances — 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 secrets — including the one secret that could save Sam Cayhall’s life… or cost Adam his.

Three Complete Spenser Novels
by Robert B. ParkerTHE PROMISED LAND .. .... Renowned for his wisecracks, his right hook, and his penchant for poetry and pretty women, Spenser is one-of-a-kind in the detective business. Spenser took mystery readers by storm when he made his debut in The Godwulf Manuscript in 1974, and since then Robert B. Parker has brought the irresistible gumshoe back in one bestseller after another. THE GODWULF MANUSCRIPT Spenser thought it was an open and shut case--find out who stole the priceless 14th- century Godwulf Manuscript from a Boston college library and get the book back. But the witty sleuth quickly discovers that the medieval manuscript is just one strand in a sticky web of drug deals, a seductive blue- blood mother and her even more seductive daughter, a murdered campus radical, small- time mobsters, and big-time trouble. "Spenser is as tough as they come and spiked with a touch of real class." --Kirkus Reviews MORTAL STAKES For Spenser, it looks like the job of a lifetime: drink beer, eat peanuts, and hang out with the Boston Red Sox players to investigate some behind-the-scenes hanky panky. But Spenser soon stumbles on a very nasty blackmail scheme involving a pornographic movie, the team's star pitcher, and a couple of vicious thugs. Spenser thinks he's found a solution, but time is running out--and if the truth leaks, the Sox are finished. "Spenser probably had more to do with changing the private eye from a cof- fin-chaser to a full-bodied human being than any other detective hero." --The Chicago Sun-Times PROMISED LAND Harvey Shepard, a shady Cape Cod vacation home developer, wants his wife back, and he's willing to pay Spenser whatever it takes to find her and get her home. But the real trou- ble starts when Spenser tracks the little woman down and discovers she's gotten her- self mixed up in a bank robbery and murder. Spenser's got just twenty-four hours to untangle this mess--or he'll wind up with two very dead clients. "[Spenser is] tough, wisecracking, unafraid, lonely, unexpectedly literate- in many respects the very exemplar of the species." --The New York Times
