Gus agrees and meets Micah Spears who wants Gus to investigate the murder of his granddaughter LT. They have caught the man who did it, but Micah wants to know why she was brutally murdered.

While investigating Gus finds out his friend Salazar is somehow involved in all of this. But what is the connection to these two? Salazar is now in hiding, but Gus is having a hard time because no one will give him a straight answer. The more and more that Gus tries to find out the answers more people are in danger.

Reed Farrel Coleman writes a fantastic thriller. I was at the edge of my seat trying to figure out what was going to happen next. Coleman also writes how hard it is for a parent to go through the death of a child. Coleman shows how it can tear a family apart, no matter how hard they try. Sometimes the parents get back together, just to share the misery.

Coleman also shows how even though some police are not proven to be criminals, the cops that stood behind them, will do anything to protect their images. I also enjoyed the fact that he shows how true friends stick together no matter what the problem is.

WHAT YOU BREAK is a thriller from a fantastic storyteller that you don't want to miss!
