Sinopse

The author of Montana 1948 explores the early years of a powerful Western family in these “beautifully written” linked stories (USA Today). 
 
Larry Watson’s bestselling novel Montana 1948 was acclaimed as a “work of art,” a prize-winning evocation of a time, a place, and a family (San Francisco Chronicle). Justice is the 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 through the decades and 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. 
 
“An engrossing story of love, familial relationships, and secrets . . . re-creates the vivid beauty of Big Sky country.” —Booklist 
 
“Filled with rugged prose sometimes as biting as a northern plains wind.” —The Washington Post 
 
“Surprises and scenes of dramatic power punctuate the narrative . . . Throughout, 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)

    Master storyteller H.H. Munro—             better known by the pen name “             Saki”             —             is famous for his witty, mischievous, and macabre stories of suspense. Saki specialized in impudent practical jokes, devilish trickery, and incredible yarns, and his writing became popular in the early 1900s for its witty and satirical look at the pretensions and ignorance of bourgeois English society. From the eerie yet humorous “             Gabriel Ernest”              to the downright chilling “             The Interlopers,”              this brilliant collection of tales—             read by multiple award-winning British actor, Sir Derek Jacobi—             will succeed in bringing both chills and laughs to listeners of all ages.
