Chasing Evil
by John Edward
Chasing Evil puts you right in the middle of an extraordinary partnership: a skeptical FBI agent, Bob Hilland, and the renowned psychic, John Edward. It begins with Bob's reluctant call about an impossible cold case in 1998 and quickly develops into a quarter-century-long journey where two very different worlds collide. As they tackle gruesome mysteries, including the infamous John Smith murders, you'll witness the slow, painstaking process of trust building and the shattering of preconceived notions. The book feels intense and deeply thought-provoking, pushing you to consider where the boundaries of investigation truly lie. This is for readers who enjoy true crime with a strong element of the unexplained, who appreciate character-driven narratives about personal growth, and who aren't afraid to explore the intersection of hard facts and intuition.
