Angel Baby

A film waiting to happen, this book boasts memorable characters, evocative settings and a suspenseful plot. - Kirkus

This novel should come with a warning. Because if you read so much as a single sentence, you will be gripped by its unstoppable force...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

Praise for THIS WICKED WORLD - .

Terrific...Even the most ruthless villains are drawn with an unexpected sensitivity to their essential humanity. - New York Times Book Review

Lange is incapable of creating a character that isn't memorable. The zone where literary fiction meets genre fiction is a crowded borderland these days... Lange proves himself comfortable on both sides of the line. - Los Angeles Times

Lange draws indelible characters and writes deadeye dialogue, and his L.A. is as parched and pitiless as the desert that surrounds it...This Wicked World is wickedly good - Booklist

A sharp, literary crime novel with the kind of lean and sparse prose that writers like Elmore Leonard and Richard Stark honed to a razor's edge. - Daily Beast
