The Sin And The Flesh by Lloyd S Thompson
His Twisted Hatred Ripped Apart The Whole City
Original Title: Hear Not My Step
In the dead of the night the girl came hurrying out of the hotel. The man in the shadows watched her, thinking, it's too bad she can't mind her own business. It's too bad she knows what she does. It's too bad for her. He could have liked this girl, this soft, yielding woman with the ripe mouth, the hungry eyes. But he couldn't let that stop him, not when he'd spent years building his plan.
