What You Break

By: Reed Farrel Coleman

Narrated by: Keith Szarabajka

Former Suffolk County cop Gus Murphy returns to prowl the meaner streets of Long Island's darkest precincts with a Russian mercenary at his back in the stunning second installment of Reed Farrel Coleman's critically acclaimed series.

Gus Murphy and his girlfriend, Magdalena, are put in harm's way when Gus is caught up in the distant aftershocks of heinous crimes committed decades ago in Vietnam and Russia. Gus' ex-priest pal, Bill Kilkenny, introduces him to a wealthy businessman anxious to have someone look more deeply into the brutal murder of his granddaughter. Though the police already have the girl's murderer in custody, they have been unable to provide a reason for the killing. The businessman, Spears, offers big incentives if Gus can supply him with what the cops cannot - a motive. Later that same day, Gus witnesses the execution of a man who has just met with his friend Slava. As Gus looks into the girl's murder and tries to protect Slava from the executioner's bullet, he must navigate a minefield populated by hostile cops, street gangs, and a Russian mercenary who will stop at nothing to do his master's bidding. But in trying to solve the girl's murder and save his friend, Gus may be opening a door into a past that was best left forgotten. Can he fix the damage done, or is it true that what you break you forever own?

FYI for Mr. Szarabajka

Asecinos is pronounced ah-seh-see-nos.

I'm impressed that you pronounced Gutierrez correctly. Thank you!

For the most part the narration was good. The female voices were pretty awful. For the most part narration should be men for male characters & women for female characters. The majority of my reviews are regarding my dislike of the narration. Overall, I believe Mr. Szarsbajka did well albeit the female parts are not so great.

This is a good book. I appreciate Mr. Colem's familiarity with New York state. The references to the area & the food makes me nostalgic. You left me craving a pie made in NY! You should try a sub from Jrek's if you haven't already. They are the best!

Good book

Loved the characters and fast moving story sad when it ended. Looking forward to the next Gus Murphy book and hope Keith Szarabajka narrates it.

A great story. Great narration.

Love the story, Gus continues to amaze.
this is a great follow up novel.
Well written and we'll narrated.

Wish there were more!

I love the insights on losing a loved one, religion, and life. Witty and contemplative.

Enjoyed this book!
