He wasthe leader of the gang "Trained to Go," or TTG, and when he was finallyarrested and sentenced to life in prison, he had been nicknamed "Baltimore'sNumber One Trigger Puller." Under Tana's reign, TTG dominated Sandtown. After astring of murders are linked to TTG, each with dozens of witnesses toointimidated to testify, three detectives set out to put Tana in prison forlife. For them, this was never about drugs: It was about serial murder. Now an acclaimed journalist who spent his youth in the whitesuburbs of Baltimore, Mark Bowden returns to the city with exclusive access tothe FBI files and unprecedented insight into one of the city's deadliest gangsand its notorious leader. As he traces the rise and fall of TTG, Bowden useswiretapped drug buys, police interviews, undercover videos, text messages,social media posts, trial transcripts, and his own ongoing conversations withTana's family and community to create the most in-depth account of an inner-citygang ever written. With his signature precision and propulsive narrative, MarkBowden positions Tana - as a boy, a gang leader, a killer, and now a prisoner -in the context of Baltimore and America, illuminating his path for what itreally was: a life sentence.

" LifeSentence is a masterpiece, right up there with Black Hawk Down and Guestsof the Ayatollah . It's gripping, it's fast, it's deeply insightful andempathetic, and it's brilliantly and exhaustively reported. People should readit." -- Matt Bai, Washington Post contributing columnist and author of Allthe Truth Is Out "Gripping and revealing. . . A powerful, nuanceddepiction of gang violence in America that makes a strong case for meaningfulreform beyond policing." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "A scorching true-crime narrative. . . Bowden pulls nopunches in his indictment of the ways in which the richest country in the worldhas allowed Black children for decades to be born into blighted urbanneighborhoods, and saddled them with burdens that they must struggle tosurmount to lead meaningful lives. This account of "young men growing up in aplace where murderous violence has become a way of life" will haunt readerslong after they finish it." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Most of the TTG gang members are now serving lifesentences, but as Bowden starkly illustrates, neutralizing one criminalenterprise won't solve the great ongoing tragedy of violence in poor, isolatedurban Black communities, nor will it fix the devastation fueled by racistpolicies from the 19th and 20th centuries." -- The Washington Post Praise for Mark Bowden: "A Woodward that outdoes even Woodward." --MalcolmGladwell, New Yorker "Amazing . . .
