Lost Fort Worth as someone mentioned is really good for a broad, general look at early Fort Worth and how it developed in its early stages through WWI and into the 50s and 60s. I believe it's available for free if you have a Kindle through the Kindle lending library.
For a more specific time and event, one of my favorites is The Shooting Salvationist, about Pastor J Frank Norris and how he bristled with Amon Carter and Mayor Meacham and ended up killing someone in in his office (which would be on the second floor above PF Chang's in downtown now).
Also, a couple that are set at least partially in or around FW but not necessarily about FW - Black Like Me, which is a classic and at least attempts to document some of the complicated racial tensions during the time it was written, and Goodbye to a River (which I suppose is really more Tarrant County than FW proper) - another classic where a guy decides to make his way down the Brazos in a canoe one last time before it gets changed by a proposed series of flood control dams.
