Notes
An excerpt of this book was included in the August 2009 issue of Reader’s Digest on pages 161-163.
The Lost Tomb and Other Real-Life Stories of Bones, Burials, and Murder by Douglas Preston
Grand Central Publishing, 2023
On page xviii he quotes from A Big Little Life:
“As Dean Koontz once observed, “We craft fiction to match our sense of how things ought to be, but truth cannot be crafted. Truth is, and truth has a way of astonishing us to our knees, reminding us that the universe does not exist to fulfill our expectations.”
