If Any Man Sin is the passionate and steamy tale of the mysterious romance in Glendale between Martin Rutland and the one who got away, church choir singer Beryl Heathcote. Excerpt: "It was Sunday night and the great city was hushed in silence. A thick mist hung over streets and houses through which numerous lights endeavored to force their rays. Few people were astir and all traffic had ceased. Presently the chimes from a hidden church tower pealed forth their sweet message to the world. A man standing alone within the shadow of the church started and turned his face upwards."
