The

Fatal Acquisition
Trilogy

The FATAL ACQUISITION TRILOGY by first-time author James Cotera is an epic and wholly original financial thriller as only a former corporate insider could deliver. Both a family saga set against the high-stakes world of corporate America, and a searing exploration of how far one man will go to protect the people he loves.

Michael Roberts is unlike any CEO you have encountered. A highly ethical, well-respected executive who has risen to the top of his profession and never fails to put the well-being of his employees first. A loving husband and dedicated father who has endured immense pain and betrayal both on the home front and in the cutthroat business world. He never imagined that he would find himself contemplating the most serious acts of violence and wondering whether it was even possible to plan and execute the perfect crime.

In a world where the rules no longer apply to those with enough money and power, Michael must face the most consequential decisions of his life. Even if he believes his actions may be justified, will he ever be able to live with himself and still be there for his family when it matters most? Where exactly is the line between defending one’s family and brutal retribution? Is redemption even possible once we have gone to such terribly dark places?

As Michael descends into an ever-darkening abyss, readers will find themselves questioning the very notion of justice, asking themselves How far would I go to protect everyone and everything I love?
