Cuts
by Richard Laymon

About the Book:
In a suburb of Chicago, Albert Prince parks on a dark, deserted street thinking he's about to get lucky with Betty -- only to find out she wants cash and not romance.

And Albert is a few bucks short.

"Dig up the rest of the money tomorrow," says Betty, "and give me a call. We'll have a great time tomorrow night."

But Albert won't be seeing Betty tomorrow night.

He'll be having a great time without her... in a stranger's house... with a beautiful woman and a knife...

And, after that, he'll be heading out of town on a cross-country killing spree...
