Angel Baby - Tapa blanda

"Opens with a trigger-snap of trouble and blasts forward with the propulsive force of a bullet and never stops moving."
--Benjamin Percy, Esquire

"A fast-paced thrill ride."
--Cameron Martin, Daily Beast

"A rising star.... Lange embraces classic noir in all its violence, bleakness, and dark humor. He makes readers care about his flawed characters and appreciate the odds that were stacked against them by the circumstances of their upbringing. A film waiting to happen, this book boasts memorable characters, evocative settings, and a suspenseful plot."
---Kirkus

"A forceful read....Richard Lange's gripping novel is full of compelling characters, including a manipulative Mexican drug lord, a treacherous hit man, and sleazy border opportunists, but at the heart of this fast-moving story is Luz."
---Don Mann, author of Inside SEAL Team Six

"This novel should come with a warning....The sentences flash like switchblades, the chapters rattle off like gunfire. Make all the comparisons you like -- Cormac McCarthy, Dennis Lehane, Martin Scorsese -- but Richard Lange is a force of his own, the high standard for crime fiction."
---Benjamin Percy, author of Red Moon

"Angel Baby is a bone-crushing nightmare parable: bad people doing the wrong things for love."
---Warren Ellis, author of Gun Machine

"The plot explodes.... You know you're in the hands of a real writer."
--Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review

--Christian DuChateau, CNN

"One lean, tough novel. Lange's prose is sharp throughout and his pacing moves with the momentum of rolling thunder."
--Derek Hill, Mystery Scene

"Angel Baby starts off in a sprint and never slows down. Richard Lange is a natural-born storyteller. What an excellent novel, both suspenseful and surprisingly moving."
---Ron Rash, author of The Cove

After escaping her violent, drug cartel-running husband with only the clothes she was wearing, a gun and money from their safe, Luz risks her life again years later to return for the daughter she left behind.
