by John W. Mefford
Behind the facade of every corporate takeover executives pull levers this way and that, squeezing the last profitable nickel out of the deal. But no one knows the true intent of every so-called merger. No one knows the secret bonds that exist.
An Indian technology giant swallows up another private company that has deep roots in North Texas. For one unassuming man the thought of layoffs, of losing his own job to a bunch of arrogant assholes feels like a kick to the jewels. Until the day Michael's life changes forever.
Perverse alliances. An affair of the heart. A grisly murder. A spiraling string of events thrusts Michael into a life-or-death fight to save a tortured soul and hunt down a brutal killer...one who lurks closer than he ever imagined. Greed knows no boundaries.

***MY HONEST REVIEW OF FATAL GREED***
Michael Doyle was an IT manager at J&W Technology
Services. After learning that his employer would be merging with PHC, an
international corporation, he accidentally discovers a mutilated body in the
alley outside the office. The victim is a business acquaintance of his.
When his neighbor, who is also his coworker, is arrested and
confesses to the murder, Michael tries to understand what is happening. With
very little being published in the local newspaper, he meets with the editor,
and Stu, a reporter. With their help, Michael starts finding clues. As he gets
closer to solving the murder, he discovers connections to his employer’s
looming merge.
This is the first book that I have read from this author. It
won’t be the last. I thought it was very well written. I like that Michael knew his
coworker as a friend and neighbor, but found out that he really didn't know him
like he thought. That is convincing because that’s how it is in real life. Just like the more he investigates, the more secrets he finds. It’s these little
things that bring the characters to life, and makes them convincing.
