Transport, magnetic and thermal properties at high magnetic fields (H) and low temperatures (T) of the heavy fermion compound CeAuSb_2 are reported. At H=0 this layered system exhibits antiferromagnetic order below T_N = 6 K. Applying B along the inter-plane direction, leads to a continuous suppression of T_N and a quantum critical point at H_c ~ 5.4 T. Although it exhibits Fermi liquid behavior within the Neel phase, in the paramagnetic state the fluctuations associated with H_c give rise to unconventional behavior in the resistivity (sub-linear in T) and to a TlnT dependence in the magnetic contribution to the specific heat. For H > H_c and low T the electrical resistivity exhibits an unusual T^3-dependence.
