Justice
BY Larry Watson
Larry Watson’s bestselling novel Montana 1948 was acclaimed as a”work of art" (Susan Petro, San Francisco Chronicle), a prize-winning evocation of a time, a place, and a family. Now Watson returns to Montana 1948’s vast landscape with a stunning prequel that illuminates the Hayden clan’s early years and the circumstances that led to the events of Montana 1948. With the precision of a master storyteller, Watson moves seamlessly among the strong and hard-bitten characters that make up the Hayden family, and in the process opens an evocative window on the very heart of the American West.

"Though told in the third person, the stories in Justice are rendered in much the same delicate, supple style that Mr. Watson gave to his narrator of Montana 1948. . . It's an accommodating style, suiting the cadences of the voices the author conjures, making graceful shifts from observation to insight, capturing the spare beauty of the landscape."
—New York Times Book Review"Watson writes with ruthless honesty about his characters' stunted dreams, unpredictable emotions and outbursts of senseless violence, showing once again that he understands not only the West but the untamed hearts that have roamed it."
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)"Watson's powerful prose easily recreates the vivid beauty of Big Sky country."
—Booklist (starred review)"Watson's tales are unforgettable tales of experience, set in a place as unchanging as any in America; a rare place where we still look for roots and a vanished frontier, and where we still uncover horrors that bring down reminders of what it is to be human no matter where we are."
—Oregonian"An intense, vivid portrait of braided lives."
—Kirkus
