GMan: The Education of a Criminal

“So this is what it feels like to die…

No amount of training in the streets could ever prepare me for this moment. Gun smoke swirls, lingering inside the car like a bad dream on a good day. The cool air whipping about the car barely brushes against my heated skin. From the passenger seat, I can barely make out any parts of the dark scenery that stretches from the heart of Natchez to the murky waters of the Mississippi River. I chose a less populated spot on a deserted country road, believing it was the perfect place to conduct our transaction. The likelihood of being spotted by the police or anyone else was slim-to-none. Unfortunately, it also meant that there would be no one who could save me.”

Gregory Marshall shares his journey from innocent child to feared criminal, from the gang-ridden streets of South Central Los Angeles to the dirt roads of Natchez, Mississippi. G-Man: The Education of a Criminal is his own real-life story, the story of a young, angry, fatherless child who rose to power as a hustler and drug king-pin earning him several stints in California’s most notorious prisons.

G-Man: The Education of a Criminal engages the reader on an emotional roller coaster. Each step to his path of redemption involves anger, despair, love, passion, fear, frustration, and faith.

We see a glimpse of his family struggles, his relationship with his street comrades, the women who helped shape him into a friend, lover, and hustler. Greg’s education didn’t come from school, it came from the streets.

Shot five times in a drug deal gone bad, Greg fought for his life, dying three times on the operating table, earning him the title of “miracle patient.” This was the turning point on his road to redemption.
