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.
In Montana, the Hayden name is law. For the Hayden boys, Wesley and Frank, their legacy carries an aura of privilege and power that doesn't stop at the Montana border, even when an ill-fated hunting trip makes them temporary outlaws. But what it means to bear the name is something each generation must discover for itself. From Julian, the hard-bitten and blustery patriarch, to Gail, Sheriff Wesley Hayden's spirited wife and moral compass, Larry Watson gives breath and blood to a remarkable family's struggles and rewards, and opens an evocative window on the very heart of the American West.

Summary: Peace, happiness and justice are inseparable...
Comment: We must never forget that each one of us holds the key in making this world a better place to live in. It is in fact our moral obligation to be active in not only looking at our self-interest but in doing what is right for all of us. Our own happiness in inseparable from the happiness of others around us and that is the essence of life. Only by walking on the path of justice and with a strong urge to seek the truth can we get there. And we must not let any one stand in the way since history will then judge us all as being as much accountable as those who block our way...

Summary: Fill out your Watson library with this one
Comment: It is probably a tribute to Montana, 1948 that this prequel is entirely unnecessary, but Justice still seems to add little to the story. I think Montana, 1948 is superb, but could have done without this prequel. Still, if read on the heels of reading its sequel, this little addition does not disappoint.

Summary: Justice
Comment: All of the characters have a defined personality. You know where they came from, what they feel and can get a sense of why they act the way they do. I think it's a wonderful idea to write a preface just to describe the characters. Now in the book he can get right to the point of the story.

Summary: Read this book!
Comment: One of the best regional books I have read. Watson is an extremely skilled author with the ability to vividly evoke a time or place, seemingly effortlessly. 'Outside the Jurisdiction' is probably the best story in the book. Watson depicts the harsh and brutal life many westerners lived in the early part of the twentieth century. I can't recommend this book highly enough.
