This week's competition, in which you have to identify a book from its opening sentence, is from a novel that revolves around a seedy shop in Soho:
"Mr Verloc, going out in the morning, left the shop nominally in charge of his brother-in-law."
The winner receives a £25 Blackwell's voucher and
the closing date is April 10.
