Chasing Evil

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

De: Robert Hilland, John Edward

Narrado por: John Edward, Robert Hilland

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Hilland’s story is so unbelievably captivating, it almost doesn’t seem real . . . in more ways than one. […] Even doubters will appreciate this action-packed memoir. The psychic inclusions are earnest, no efforts are made to convert readers, and the friendship between the two men is touching. 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

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.

The battle of good vs evil - a spirit and mind bender.

FBI actually gives psychic a chance

I love the fact that finally a law enforcement agent was willing to learn and listen to a psychic and keep an open mind to a different way of solving crime. I will listen to this again! (Please make more! I’m hooked)

Incredible true story of Dedication to helping those seeking justice

I highly recommend for believers and non-believers of the supernatural alike. I did the audible version. It had me riveted from the start. The friendship, the collaboration, the dedication of John and Bob is a story to be shared with all. Natasha, fabulous job bringing this book to life! Finished it in one day!

Powerful

I listened to this entire book in two days. I had to take a few breaks because the energy was making me overwhelmed because of the negativity of the subject matter. John and Bob did a great job and in great detail told these stories of true cases so well that you the listener becomes emotionally involved and feels the urgency and frustration that they felt trying to solve these cases and find the victims and get justice. The only way I can describe it is very powerful.

Fascinating!

I hope we all can learn to become attuned with the other side. At least, I want this for myself.

One of the best books I ever listened

If you are a fan of true crime and the paranormal, this book is a must! I couldn’t put down it is so interesting, gave me the chills, and it reminding me of my spiritual search.

Excellent and interesting

Very interesting to learn how they worked together and trusted each other and believed that there can be other ways to look at things and learn from them.
