International Book Week

Meme from impulsereader:

It's international book week. The rules: Grab the closest book to you, turn to page 52, post the 5th sentence. Don't mention the title. Copy the rules as part of your post.

"He had his orders to divulge nothing."

No title, but I will say it was published in 1946.

Oooo...I like this one...very intriguing.

I admit to a bit of disappointment in my own books, but couldn't work up the effort to cheat and pull out a bunch of volumes at random to find alternates. :-) The meme knew it had better hope of a response if it didn't require us getting up off the couch.

Argh! I feel I've read this line before, but it's generic enough to have come from anything. I do have a few guesses, based on a Google search of 1946 books. Is that cheating? ;)

That icon you used is one of the rare ones that makes me giggle even though I made it myself. ;D

I kind of doubt you've read it... it's fairly rare, at least the last time I checked. I stumbled on a copy at a Half Price Books, after having it on my list for 3-4 years. I wouldn't call Google books cheating, necessarily. What are your guesses?

Haha, it ended up a good one! The sentences around it weren't nearly as interesting.

Probably doesn't fit any of my guesses, then! They were Allingham's "Wanted: Someone Innocent", Rex Stout's "The Silent Speaker", or Crispin's "The Moving Toyshop".
