In episode 29, host Phil Morehart from the American Library Association speaks with Thien Ho, the district attorney of Sacramento County, California, whose new book, “The People vs. the Golden State Killer,” documents the hunt for and prosecution of serial killer Joseph DeAngelo, aka the Golden State Killer.
Thien was the lead prosecutor who led a team of law enforcement from six California prosecutor's offices in the hunt for DeAngelo. "The People vs. the Golden State Killer" is the first official account of how the Golden State Killer was apprehended and put behind bars for life.
The book also details Thien’s fascinating personal journey—escaping communist Vietnam on a fishing boat as a child, working his way up from an internship to an elite homicide division, and eventually becoming Sacramento District Attorney.
Thien joins the show to discuss his book and the Golden State Killer case, our collective fascination with true crime, his inspiring life story, and of course how he libraries.

In episode 11, show host Phil Morehart from the American Library Association speaks with New York Times-bestselling author Daniel Kraus.
Kraus is one of the most acclaimed and prolific writers of terrifying fiction working today. His books include "Whalefall," "The Shape of Water" with filmmaker Guillermo del Toro, "The Ghost That Ate Us: The Tragic True Story of the Burger City Poltergeist," "Rotters," "The Death and Life of Zebulon Finch," and "The Living Dead" with the late horror director George A. Romero.
Kraus’ latest book, “Pay the Piper,” finds him collaborating posthumously with Romero again. It is one of two novels the director known best for zombie films like "Night of the Living Dead" and "Dawn of the Dead" left unfinished when he died in 2017. “Pay the Piper" is an altogether different type of horror from Romero, about a mythical and mystical entity that terrorizes the Louisiana bayou. In Kraus’ hands, Romero’s work is finally out in the world.
Kraus joins the show to talk about "Pay the Piper" and its origins, Romero’s influence, zombie movies, and of course, how he libraries.
