Resumen del Editor
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, DC.
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.

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

On the face of it, a simple book of 26 poem fables sharing one man’s wisdom. But The Prophet is so much more than that. It has inspired people from John F Kennedy to The Beatles and became the '60s Bible of counterculture – all because of the timeless truths it shared. Each poem takes a different theme – pleasure, beauty, freedom, joy and sorrow – as the fictional Al Mustapha shares his thoughts and experiences as he prepares to travel back to his island home.

The history of the tablets translated in the following book is strange and beyond the belief of modern scientists. Their antiquity is stupendous, dating back some 36,000 years. The writer is Thoth, an Atlantean Priest-King, who founded a colony in ancient Egypt after the sinking of the mother country. He was the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza, erroneously attributed to Cheops. In it he incorporated his knowledge of the ancient wisdom and also securely secreted records and instruments of ancient Atlantis.

Data is fundamental to the modern world. From economic development, to healthcare, to education and public policy, we rely on numbers to allocate resources and make crucial decisions. But because so much data fails to take into account gender, treating men as the default and women as atypical, bias and discrimination are baked into our systems. And women pay tremendous costs for this bias in time, money, and often with their lives. Celebrated feminist advocate Caroline Criado Perez investigates the shocking root cause of gender inequality and research in Invisible Women.

It was not a clever killing. On May 5, 1973, three men escaped from a Maryland prison and disappeared. Joined by a 15-year-old brother, they surfaced in Georgia, where they were spotted joyriding in a stolen car. Within a week, the four young men were arrested on suspicion of committing one of the most horrific murders in American history. Jerry Alday and his family were eating Sunday dinner when death burst through the door of their cozy little trailer. Their six bodies are only the beginning of Thomas H. Cook's retelling of this gruesome story.

Based on five years of investigative reporting and research into forensic psychology and criminology, Erased presents an original profile of a widespread and previously unrecognized type of murder: not a hot-blooded, spur-of-the-moment crime of passion, as domestic homicide is commonly viewed, but a cold-blooded, carefully planned, and methodically executed form of erasure. These crimes are often committed by men with no criminal record, men leading functional and often successful lives until the moment they kill the women, and sometimes children, they claimed to love.

When a hideous murder makes the headlines, a barrage of questions usually appears in its wake: Why did this happen? Could it have been prevented? What kind of family was the criminal from? Are his parents in some way to blame? Any crime writer worth his salt would attempt to answer these questions - but how do you address such questions when the killer is your own son? In a brave, honest, and moving work, best-selling true-crime writer Carlton Stowers examines the downfall of his eldest son, once a happy child full of promise, now a convicted murderer serving a 60-year sentence.

At 5:40 a.m. on July 4, 1954, the mayor of Bay Village, a small suburb of Cleveland, Ohio, received a frantic phone call from his neighbor Dr. Sam Sheppard. The news was too terrible to comprehend: Marilyn, Sam's lovely wife, was dead, her face and torso beaten beyond recognition by an unknown assailant who had knocked Sam unconscious and escaped just before dawn. In the adjacent bedroom, Chip, the Sheppards' seven-year-old son, had slept through the entire ordeal. Almost immediately, the police began to suspect Sam Sheppard.

On a clear autumn morning in 2004, Rachel O'Reilly, a 30-year-old mother of two, was brutally battered to death in her home. It was a merciless killing that stunned the small, trusting community where she lived and devastated her close-knit family.

It soon emerged, however, that police investigating the case believed Rachel had known her killer and that her murder had been carefully planned months in advance.

Thorough and Thoughtful!
Bryan Porter does an excellent job of recounting the details of the investigation and subsequent trial of the "Alexandria Assain". His insight, connection to the case, and thoughtful relationship to the victims families provides for a very engaging recount of the events surrounding these horrific murders.

I waited …
I kept listening and hoped it would get interesting but had to give it up.
Firstly, he should have given the story to the writer that asked for it and not thought of himself to be a better author. The real life story maybe good but he is not the right person to write about it.
His actions in the story come through as arrogant but it may just be the lack of a concise writing style.
When the nonfiction crime-law book became his opinion philosophy religious faith book, I could not take it any more.

A prosecutor’s self-admiration
This book is not a who-done-it or a griping tail of how a killer was caught and brought to justice. It is a prosecutor’s story designed to instruct the reader on Virginia law and tedious accounts of his sympathies toward the mentally ill.
The writer’s ego gets in the way of the story. For example, Mr. Porter believes that the mark of a good leader is taking credit for the hard work work of underlings. Since his underlings worked hard and his team prevailed in the case against Charles Severance-Mr Porter would have you believe his leadership is unassailable and he deserves a lot of credit.
Mr. Porter early on in the book explains that he sympathizes with Severance by not seeking the death penalty due to Mr. Porter’s belief that Charles Severance is severely mentally ill. Mr. Porter would have the reader accept that if only Mr. Severance would have received mental health treatment or if Severance’s parents would have recognized his mental illness or perhaps if the community had recognized his illness these atrocities would have been prevented. According to Psychology Today very few if any psychopathic serial killers suffer from debilitating mental illness.
What Mr. Porter fails to understand is that his sympathy was for a psychopath. Mr. Porter’s view toward mental illness is greatly lacking and is ironic given the fact the danger of psychopaths is that they lack empathy and have the capacity to understand their actions.
The book has a poorly developed plot but becomes a narrative timeline that is boring. It is a banal case study in Mr. Porter’s lack of understanding predators and his self-aggrandizement. This story would have been better told by someone else. Skip this book and read the newspaper articles. You will save time and money.
