The ebook did not have any embedded fonts or references to such fonts. There was a empty span wrapped about the first 40-67 characters of the line which is why I guessed small caps or similar. A sample of the ebook from Amazon and Smashwords showed the same capitalization issue.
I suspect that since only a single span was used, it was supposed to look like:
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT ALEXANDER IS NOT RETURNING?" ASKED SARAH Grey
though I would have used
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT
ALEXANDER IS NOT RETURNING?" ASKED
SARAH Grey
