This week's competition, in which you have to identify a book from its opening sentence, is from an American recluse with an interest in spooks, psychics and V2s: "A screaming comes across the sky. It has happened before, but there's nothing to compare it to now."
The winner receives a £25 Blackwell's book voucher and
the closing date is April 4 .
