Description
"Angel Baby is taut and vicious, unfurling like a rumba of rattlesnakes." —Los Angeles Times
Luz has made lots of mistakes. She should never have left her daughter in L.A. She should never have returned to Tijuana. She should never have married El Principe, a key player in a vicious drug cartel. But today's the day she sets things right. Taking only the clothes on her back, a Colt .45, and all the money in her husband's safe, she makes a desperate attempt to escape the hell her life has become. Between her and her little girl lie a border, a desert, a coldblooded enforcer, and a corrupt cop on the scent of cash.
Relentlessly paced and emotionally gripping, Angel Baby is "a lean novel that leaps and sings with hard-boiled intuition...It's his best work yet." (Los Angeles Review of Books).
Advance Praise
"The plot explodes.... You know you're in the hands of a real writer." —Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review
"Opens with a trigger-snap of trouble and blasts forward with the propulsive force of a bullet and never stops moving." —Benjamin Percy, Esquire
"Thrilling and cinematic, told as one long chase scene." —Christian DuChateau, CNN
"A fast-paced thrill ride." —Daily Beast
"One lean, tough novel. Lange's prose is sharp throughout and his pacing moves with the momentum of rolling thunder." —Mystery Scene
