Crime novel about "a woman of great wealth who returns from a concentration camp, following World War II, to her young husband and to the daughter she has had by a previous liaison [both of whom] have believed she is dead. They are determined to acquire her fortune." Originally published in France in 1961 (as "Le retour des cendres"), the book was adapted for the 1965 British film of the same name, directed by J.
