November Memories

One of NY Capital Region's bestselling books: over 1,000 copies sold in just one year. In the middle of the night, a father is murdered, and a mother is left for dead after a brutal ax attack. Before doctors try to save the woman's life, police say she told them her son is the one who did it - even though he's attending a prestigious college over three hours away. As the boy's mother hangs on for dear life, she wakes up in the hospital with no memory of the attack, and now believes her son to be innocent of the crime. But investigators are sure they've got their man - Christopher Porco - a tall, handsome student with plenty of debt and bad grades. It's a murder that shattered a family, shook the New York Capital Region, and made national news. Now, a leading local reporter takes you from the murder scene to the verdict, providing an unprecedented look at the evidence and allegations - from DNA to possible Mafia involvement - in a case that's as unbelievable as it is true.
