Escape from Evil is a powerful and harrowing memoir that tells the story of Cathy Wilson, a woman who survived marriage to one of the UK's most notorious serial killers, Peter Tobin. In 2006, Cathy turned on the television and screamed with horror when she saw a familiar face on the news: Peter Tobin, her ex-husband and the father of her son. After a criminal case that gripped the nation, Tobin was found guilty of the murders of three women and is now serving a life sentence.

In Escape from Evil, Cathy reveals the shocking truth about her life with Tobin. They met when Cathy was just sixteen years old and he seemed caring, but as their relationship progressed, she began to see glimpses of a different man hiding behind his normal façade. Tobin became controlling and then violent, trapping Cathy in a terrifyingly abusive marriage.

Despite the overwhelming odds, Cathy found the strength to escape and build a better life for herself and her young son. In her memoir, Cathy describes how she helped the police build a case against Tobin and finally stood in court as a witness against the man who could have easily murdered her too.

Escape from Evil is a powerful and harrowing memoir that sheds light on the devastating effects of domestic violence and the resilience of the human spirit. Cathy's story is a testament to the importance of seeking help and support when faced with such adversity. It is a reminder that there is always hope for a better future, even in the darkest of times.
