Win, Place and Die! by Lawrence Lariar (Signet, 1955). Back in 2019, when MysteriousPress.com/Open Road issued a Kindle edition of this standalone novel about “a thriller writer determined to solve a real-life murder case,” it explained that “Lawrence Lariar was one the most popular cartoonists of the twentieth century. But from the 1940s through the 1960s, he also crafted a line of lean and mean detective and mystery novels under his own name as well as the pseudonyms Michael Stark, Adam Knight, Michael Lawrence, and Marston La France.”
