The novel translates into Among the Dead, and is a 1954 crime novel by Pierre Boileau and Pierre Ayraud. The novel was published only four years before Hitchcock’s movie.

one last letter in order to sign off on her life. According to Naomi Schor, “The apprenticeship of the heroine-artist can lead only to death, but to an exemplary death, because suicide generates language. In the novel to die a natural death (belle mort) is to commit suicide, because suicide is the very act that links the coming to writing with the renunciation of life” (Schor 503).

Saying goodbye to the clan leader, Dondorian was one of the hardest things Moira had ever done. Her large amber eyes glistened with the strain of the moment, for it had the feel of forever to it.
