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. This program is read by the authors.

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 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.

Centering on the investigation of the gruesome John Smith murders that rocked the nation, Chasing Evil is a heart-stopping story of murder, justice, and finding help in unexpected places.

True crime fans and cynics alike won’t be able to put this riveting story down.” —Booklist, starred review

“This riveting true crime book is a thriller, a memoir, and a meditation on the unknown, with all the intensity of a big-screen drama and the soul of deeply personal reckonings. […] The tension is relentless, the writing cinematic, and the tone urgent. What truly sets this work apart is its grappling with the nature of evil. […] An intensely honest and visceral journey into darkness, intuition, and the pursuit of justice; a must-have.” –Library Journal, starred review

"An amazing story about the unique relationship between an FBI agent and a psychic who team up to solve crimes together. Stranger than fiction, but all true. A secret relationship that was even secret from the FBI. You won’t want to put this book down." -John Miller, CNN Chief Law Enforcement Analyst, former NYPD Deputy Commissioner

"Storytelling at its best. Agent Hilland and psychic medium John Edward make an unlikely crime-solving duo in this riveting account of one law enforcement officer’s undying determination to stop a serial killer.

"Put the coffee on, lock the doors and settle in, because it’s going to be a long night. Chasing Evil grabs you by the lapels from the first page, holding firm until the very end.

What comes through most: the passion and caring of both men for the victims in their quest for justice." -K.C. Baker, senior crime writer for PEOPLE Magazine and reporter on ID/Investigation Discovery's true crime series, People Magazine Investigates

Chasing Evil is tough to put down and even tougher to forget." -Peter Edwards, Toronto Star criminal justice reporter and bestselling author of A Gangster’s Life

Fascinating!

Love this!!! I love John Edward. It’s cool how he used his gifts to work with the FBI to catch criminals.

Thought Provoking and Insightful Listen

I enjoyed this listen so much, I decided to write my first book review ever. I’ve read and listened to countless nonfiction books on mediums and crime but never one that included both. Extremely fascinating listening to how their relationship developed and grew over time and how many crimes they solved together with John Edward not wanting any recognition for his help. What really grabbed me was listening how the FBI detective, Bob Hilland, started out not believing in getting “help” from the other side to becoming so open to it that he started getting his own psychic abilities. I’ve always heard that if we let our walls down and remain open, we can sometimes receive messages or guidance from the other side. Reading Chasing Evil reminded me of that belief. Robert Hilland writes in a way that makes you feel those doors are possible to open. His storytelling pulls you into a space where the boundary between the seen and unseen feels thin. It’s not just about solving crimes, it’s also about intuition, faith, and listening to what comes through when we allow ourselves to be open to it. This is a book I could listen to multiple times.

worth every moment, waiting and listening.

straight forward storytelling, wonderfully delivered. fascinating and riveting, the gentle soundscaping a wonderful back drop.

Top Tier True Crime Plus

This is an elite true crime retelling. What an amazing career Hilland had!! But my favorite part was his personal spiritual journey. It is something we all have inside of us and it was fascinating to listen to his journey. Don’t get me wrong, this is an in your face top-tier true crime novel. But I loved the undertone of personal growth.

Amazing

PLEASE someone make this a movie. This book is so well written I could not stop listening. Love that they narrated themselves. Highly suggest.
