The Parable of the Knocker: The True Crime Story of a Prosecutor's Fight to Bring a Serial Killer to Justice

Written by Bryan Porter

Narrated by Michael Butler Murray

Alexandria Assassin: The Parable of the Knocker is a nonfiction book about the investigation, prosecution, and trial of a notorious serial killer, Charles Severance. Severance committed his crimes in the City of Alexandria, Virginia, an affluent, historic community just miles south of Washington, D.C.

Over the course of a decade, Severance ambushed three outstanding Alexandria residents in their middle-class neighborhood by knocking on their front doors in broad daylight and shooting them unexpectedly when they answered the knock. Severance was not personally acquainted with any of his victims, and instead selected his targets to revenge perceived wrongs and terrorize a community.

I was born in Springhill Nova Scotia to David and Wendy Porter. Through most of my life I have dreamed of publishing my own works, since as far back as I can remember I have always created stories in my mind, and on rare occasion shared them with others.My first work The Count of Samerand and The Ghost of Belgravia is a homage to Sir Aruther Conan Doyle and his Sherlock Holmes series. Though the count has deliberatively different character traits.
