New York Times on Angel Baby: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/26/boo....
Esquire on Angel Baby: “There are books – like Cormac McCarthy’s No Country for Old Men and Nic Pizzolatto’s Galveston – that open with a trigger snap of trouble and blast forward with the propulsive force of a bullet and never stop moving…This novel about an escape is the perfect summer escape. Lange proved his poetic grit with Dead Boys and This Wicked World, but ANGEL BABY puts him in a new category: crime boss.” --Ben Percy

New Angel Baby reviews
Her are three new Angel Baby raves:
The Armchair Librarian: http://neniacampbell.blogspot.com/201...
The Review Broads: http://thereviewbroads.com/2013/05/bo...
Booklist: "Luz’s plan to escape her husband, Tijuana’s brutal narco boss, and rejoin her daughter, who is hidden with relatives in L.A., seems flawless right up to the moment Luz is caught with her hands in the safe and frantically shoots her way out the door. Within hours, she’s hired Malone, a surfer gone to seed (and nursing a tragic past), to smuggle her across the border. Luz’s husband quickly sets reluctant enforcer Jeronimo on her trail, holding his family hostage as motivation. When Jeronimo foils a crooked Border Patrol agent’s robbery of Luz’s stolen cash, he and the agent, Thacker, form an uneasy partnership whose unraveling kicks the story into its groove. The story line is certainly familiar, but it’s wrapped in enticing layers. Lange pits Luz and Malone against Jeronimo and Thacker, each pair with one soul desperate to save what they love and one self-destructing from the knowledge they’ve destroyed it. Hope and regret tangle at each turn, and Lange’s tours through Tijuana and SoCal evoke a gritty grace. For readers who have already plowed through all the available Don Winslow."
