First Mover Advantage (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798729783663)

A Corrupt City Council, Conspicuous Corporate Crimes, and Cagey Characters.

It's 1982, and business is booming in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Sonny McBride and Jim Tarpley are engaged in a bitter, often violent battle for the North Texas spoils. The titans of industry play a continuous, zero-sum game of deliberate attacks and defenses to gain a dominant market position.

Castillo, Texas, a fast-growing, wealthy community, is the latest target for Sonny and Jim. Their fight to corner the multi-million dollar businesses in Castillo will result in two kidnappings, multiple assaults, and one suspicious death.

Intertwined with the McBride-Tarpley business feud is a nefarious conspiracy of political corruption, discrimination, and bribery. When the sinister plan, designed by a group known as The Pioneers, is discovered, residents realize Castillo isn't the utopia they believed it to be.

When a city's government can't be trusted, is vigilante justice warranted? Are ethics and morality black and white, or is there a grey? Who decides right from wrong?
