| Summary: | "In The People vs. the Golden State Killer, Thien Ho, Sacramento District Attorney, recounts the exhilarating and harrowing pursuit of Joseph DeAngelo, a former police officer known by many names: the Visalia Ransacker, the East Area Rapist, the Original Night Stalker, and finally, the Golden State Killer. For over a decade, DeAngelo terrorized California communities. Then, for more than thirty years, he vanished-until a team led by Ho used a groundbreaking tool known as investigative genetic genealogy to uncover his identity and secure a life sentence. Unlike previous accounts that focused mainly on the killer, Ho centers the survivors and the law-enforcement teams who refused to give up their pursuit of the most prolific serial predator in California history. The book features hundreds of never-before-revealed details as well as the authorized voices of many of DeAngelo's courageous survivors who transformed their trauma into activism. A portion of the book's proceeds will benefit Phyllis's Garden, a victims' rights nonprofit founded in honor of a Golden State Killer survivor. Ho also shares his own remarkable story: A Vietnamese refugee who arrived in America not knowing a word of English, he rose through the ranks to become one of just ten Asian American district attorneys out of 2,400 nationwide. With legal authority and deep emotional sensitivity, The People vs. the Golden State Killer is a powerful testament to justice, survival, and the people who make both possible"-- Provided by publisher. |
