But it now appears that one of the detectives hired by Lady Farncombe to investigate the Sands disappearance may actually have uncovered another book, which Emily had been preparing for her niece and nephew. However, since the publisher still cannot say for certain that a Miss Sands ever existed, readers must decide for themselves whether the story is true or simply an elaborate concoction"--P. [3]. | "Miss Emily Sands invites you to discover the treasures of ancient Egypt." |
