"One reason for the bustle was that over large parts of the continent other people preferred to make money without working at all, and since X had yet to develop a music recording industry they were forced to fall back on older, more traditional forms of banditry."

1. What (or where if you wish) is X?
2. Which book (title/author) is this excerpt from?

Eheheh...have fun teasing me...

Questions are never difficult, Michal!  

At least as long as you're not playing Jeopardy...

I won't even begin to guess here, because I absolutely have no idea.

I thought about the spoiling matter once again. I think it's safe enough to avoid Inland's posts and you won't be spoiled.

Not "may", must
 And don't act like you need my (or anyone's for that matter) permission


I'm now going home and will also look for a suitable quote once I arrive.

We would be honored, honest - I posted my own, but it was before I read your thread... (maybe I need spanking?)

I'm sure Michal will answer that, Belinda... ??? (a smiley for you)
So (with Michal's permission  
), here is my little trivia.  I'll use the previous format:
"
uring the winter of 1927-28 officials of the Federal government made a strange and secret investigation of certain conditions in the ancient Massachusetts seaport of X. The public first learned of it in February, when a vast series of raids and arrests occurred, followed by the deliberate burning and dynamiting - under suitable precautions - of an enormous number of crumbling, worm-eaten, and supposedly empty houses along the abandoned waterfront"

I guess it's quite easy...Same questions:
1. "Where" is X?
2. Which tale -hint- is this excerpt from? Author & title, please...

I won't because I'm probably not familiar with the game Bel mentioned. I called this "Spot the Quote" because that was simply the first thing that occurred to me.

(with Michal's permission  
)

Permission granted!

Author is Howard Phillips Lovecraft. I'll tell you the rest as soon as I find the page
