About this Event

Renowned psychic medium and New York Times bestselling author John Edward joins former FBI Special Agent Robert Hilland to present CHASING EVIL: Shocking Crimes, Supernatural Forces, and an FBI Agent’s Search for Hope and Justice.

***During the audience Q&A session, John Edward will answer your psychic questions and do a few readings for audience members at random***

Hilland will reveal how, in 1998, working on the unsolved, notorious John Smith serial killer case, he reluctantly picked up the phone to call the famous psychic John Edward to ask for help. The call shattered all Bob's preconceived notions, leading to a huge break in the case, and started an unlikely crime-solving partnership spanning 25 years.

Edward gave Hilland hauntingly specific guidance, helping him on many other cases and events, including being at Ground Zero on 9/11 and serving there for a year afterward, polygraphing Taliban leaders in Afghanistan, investigating stolen military grade weapons in Guyana, even securing the confession of NFL quarterback Michael Vick for his involvement in a dogfighting ring.

Join us for a rare opportunity to learn about a heart-stopping story of M**der, justice, and finding help in unexpected places, and witness psychic readings in person.

A ticket includes a signed copy of the book.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

CHASING EVIL

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

A heart-stopping story of M**der, 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.

In 2011, Edward created the digital network “Evolve”—an online platform delivering metaphysical lifestyle content to his one million-plus social media followers.

ROBERT HILLAND is a former police officer and FBI Special Agent who worked in law enforcement for 30 years. He worked a number of high-profile cases including the investigation of serial killer John Smith. Bob has appeared on several television series including 20/20, Cold Case Files, and On the Case with Paula Zahn.
