“A riveting behind-the-scenes account about the investigation, capture, and prosecution of the Golden State Killer.”
—Paul Holes, bestselling author of Unmasked

In The People vs. the Golden State Killer, Thien Ho, the current District Attorney of Sacramento, recounts his harrowing and exhilarating experience as the lead prosecutor responsible for capturing and prosecuting Joseph DeAngelo. Referred to at various times by law enforcement and the media as the Visalia Ransacker, the East Bay Rapist, the Original Nightstalker, and finally the Golden State Killer, DeAngelo, a former policeman, is widely considered “one of the most notorious serial predators in American history.”

Ho’s book is the first official account of how the Golden State Killer was apprehended and put behind bars for life. Ho led an elite team of law enforcement from six California prosecutor's offices, using a newly developed tool known as “investigative genetic genealogy” to connect DeAngelo to multiple cold cases stretching back nearly a half century.

Many previous narratives about DeAngelo, including two bestselling books and multiple documentaries, focused largely on the killer and his heinous crimes. This book not only provides hundreds of facts and details never revealed to the public about the Golden State Killer’s crimes, it also presents the real-life story of the people who worked tirelessly to bring DeAngelo to justice. It also offers the unprecedented authorized perspective of three survivors of DeAngelo's crimes who courageously turned their pain into empowerment and activism. A portion of the book’s proceeds will be donated both by the author and Third State Books to Phyllis’s Garden, a nonprofit advocating for victims’ rights begun in honor of a GSK survivor.

The People vs. the Golden State Killer also recounts Ho’s fascinating personal journey, from escaping communist Vietnam with his family as a child to working his way up from an internship to an elite homicide division and eventually becoming one of only ten Asian American district attorneys out of 2,400 nationwide.

In Across the Lines: A Life in Cross-Racial Solidarity, civil rights attorney Stewart Kwoh draws on a lifetime of advocacy to tell a rarely told American story. Progress has come not from isolated struggle, but from communities standing together across racial lines.

From the Filipino and Mexican American farmworkers who joined forces in the Delano grape strike of the 1960s, to Thai and Latino garment workers who challenged modern-day sweatshops in Los Angeles decades later, Kwoh traces a powerful tradition of multiracial organizing. Along the way, he introduces figures such as George Takei, a longtime family friend and actor best known for the Star Trek series, whose childhood incarceration shaped his civil rights activism; we also meet Julie Su, the first Asian American to serve as Acting U.S. Secretary of Labor, whom Kwoh first hired as a law student. Woven through these histories is Kwoh’s own journey. The son of pioneering actress and activist Beulah Quo, Kwoh came of age during the Civil Rights era. He went on to found Asian Americans Advancing Justice, which is now one of the nation’s largest Asian American civil rights organizations. With his wife, Patricia Kwoh, he later co-founded the Asian American Education Project, bringing untold histories of Asian American struggle and solidarity into classrooms across the country.

Written for readers seeking to understand how progress has been made in America, this book shows why solidarity remains essential to our future. This book is both a record of what multiracial unity has achieved and a guide for how it can be built further in this country At a time when democracy feels increasingly fragile and communities are encouraged to see their struggles as separate, Across the Lines offers a clear reminder: None of us advances alone.

Everyday Americans: Asians in the U.S. Today tells the story of the fastest growing—and most transformative generationally—racial and ethnic group in the U.S. As the only demographic group that is majority immigrants or children of immigrants, 24 million Asian Americans are on a journey of understanding of what it means for them to be American. They represent dozens of ethnic groups with different origins, languages, cultures, and traditions.

But much of American culture, including social science research, treats Asian Americans as a monolith. This book is the culmination of Pew Research Center’s multi-year initiative to make Asian Americans more visible by filling those data gaps. The research team heard their voices through the largest nationally representative survey of Asian Americans to date, a focus group study conducted in 18 different languages and interviews conducted inside their homes. What resulted is a comprehensive understanding of how Asian Americans navigate the U.S., and how they understand their unique identities, experiences, and struggles. The landmark study found that Asian Americans have the same values, dreams, and aspirations as everyday Americans. Despite this, fewer than half consider themselves “typical Americans,” underscoring the persistent gap between self-perception and societal acceptance.

Through the voices of both immigrant and U.S.-born generations, this book expands on the published statistics, connecting data points to human voices and experiences. It tells the story of how Asian Americans, being in between two worlds, navigate what it means to be both: Asian and American.
