Joe Hustle

Lange has made a name and won awards writing about society's forgotten outsiders, usually in the gritty underside of Los Angeles. With his newest novel Joe Hustle, he continues to fire on all cylinders. In this novel that is part romance, part neo-noir thriller, Joe Hustle's struggles seem to be at an end when he falls in love with Emily, the black sheep of a rich family. When circumstances get sticky, they run away together, but trouble never sleeps, and they are forced to confront their demons, both external and internal.
