When a Glock nine-millimeter is snatched from a pawnshop by two would-be robbers, it embarks on a wild journey. From the hood to the burbs and back again; acting as the vehicle for murder. The Glock reaches the hands of several individuals and is used as the weapon for diverse malicious crimes. Detectives' Peterson and James are determined to locate the whereabouts of this deadly weapon, but realize the task at hand is more difficult than they expected. Why? Villians, more often, move faster than law officials. So after a person is killed and another gun goes unrecovered, who will be the next to be murdered with an undiscovered deadly weapon? If it fell into your hands, what would you do?

I'm Reloaded!!!,
By The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers (RAWSISTAZ.com and BlackBookReviews.net) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Murder With A Deadly Weapon (Paperback)
In MURDER WITH A DEADLY WEAPON, Thomas Overton chronicles the life of a nine-millimeter gun, "Glock Nine GN9-684-231". Not only does Glock Nine star as the integral character of the novel, it actually narrates short passages of the book adding a unique touch. Glock Nine was manufactured to be utilized by law enforcement officials but once it falls into the wrong hands it's transformed into a killer.
Glock Nine is immediately thrust into the wrong hands in the opening chapter of the novel when the pawnshop it's residing in gets robbed and it's part of the spoils. As it's passed from person to person, all of its subsequent owners take on the role of secondary characters, most of whom are facing personal dilemmas that possessing Glock Nine can only further complicate. Other notable characters are Detectives Usef Peterson and Karen James who are assigned to the pawnshop robbery case and have the difficult task of hunting down Glock Nine before any more lives are taken. MURDER WITH A DEADLY WEAPON was a very uncomplicated read, so much so that if not for its violent theme, it could have be geared toward young adults, most of whom would definitely benefit from the anti-violence lessons that are found within the book. Overton resonates this theme and, at the same time, tell the story without becoming too preachy. Or, at least when he does become preachy, readers will hear the voice of Glock Nine doing the preaching, as it displays outrage in the manner in which it's being utilized.

Great Story,
By MommyB (Lansdowne, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Murder With A Deadly Weapon (Paperback)
First I have to say that "street lit" is not exactly my genre of choice. Having said that I will say this is the first book of that genre that I really liked. The story line kept my attention and interest. Not only did the book have a great story line but it also has a message about the dangers of guns, especially in the hands of criminals. I agree with the above review Mr. Overton definitely has talent as a writer. I look forward to his next book.

Deadly Consequences,
This review is from: Murder With A Deadly Weapon (Paperback)
What happens when guns are put in the wrong hands? Thomas Overton created a tale told from a gun's point of view. He describes how horrible the gun feels when children and a bunch of innocent people are being murdered. The intentions of Smith & Wesson when manufacturing the guns were for military and police use and not everyday people looking to commit a crime. The story goes on to many different scenes, allowing the reader to see just how easy it is to get a hold of a gun and take a person's life for no reason at all. One slip can determine a person's fate and cause havoc on a whole community.
I understood the moral point of the story in Murder With A Deadly Weapon. However, the story was slow all the way through. I'm not sure if it was the language or the way it was told, but it didn't hold my attention. Overton could have just told the story and not included paragraphs from the gun's point of view. This is just my opinion, but I think when authors use something really imaginary and unbelievable, it turns me off from the actual storyline. Mr. Overton did bring every scenario together with how the gun went from one person to the next person. Murder With A Deadly Weapon just wasn't it for me, but Thomas Overton certainly has a true talent for writing. Reviewed by Angie for Urban Reviews
