Crossroads of Lust by Andrew Shaw; Lawrence Block

'Abnormal passions were set to explode.... He killed his wife and found that killing was easy...Take these and more and mix well with sex and blood and pour the gore down the gutter of a town set for a--Lust Blast!'
--

First line: 'There are the big cities, where the juvies line up on feeble-minded nymphos in cellar clubs, where the faggots cruise in skirts and the dykes wear the pants.'
