ABOUT THE BOOK:

CHASING EVIL

Shocking Crimes, Supernatural Forces, and an FBI Agent’s Search for Hope and Justice

A heart-stopping story of murder, justice, and finding help in unexpected places, CHASING EVIL (St. Martin’s Essentials, September 2, $32.00) reveals for the first time how a skeptical FBI agent reached out to a famous psychic for help on a baffling case – and the twenty-five-year crime-solving journey that followed.

In the summer of 1998, FBI agent Bob Hilland reluctantly picked up the phone to call the famous psychic John Edward. Bob didn’t expect much from the call, but he was working on an unsolvable cold case—the infamous “John Smith” murders—and had nowhere else to turn.

What Bob never imagined was that the call would lead to a shattering of all his preconceived notions, a huge break in the cold case, and an unlikely crime-solving partnership that spanned twenty-five years.

As Bob and John took on more cases together, they slowly learned how to rely on each other and trust their skills, ultimately finding not only justice for the crimes they solved, but resolution and healing in their own lives.
