New York: Dodd, Mead and Company,, 1944. The author's first book, the scarcest of his works First edition, first printing, of the author's first book. Written while he was still a graduate student at the University of Michigan, this is the scarcest of Millar's works, with just two copies traced at auction in the dust jacket. It was later published in 1955 under the title I Die Slowly, and is one of four books published under Millar's real name, prior to publication of the Lew Archer series under his pseudonym John Ross Macdonald. Octavo. Original red cloth, title to spine in black. With dust jacket. Housed in a black cloth flat-back box by the Chelsea Bindery. Spine slightly rolled. An excellent copy in the jacket with some minor loss to spine ends, chip and closed tear to head of front panel, and some nicks and rubbing to extremities. Hubin p. 285.

Description:
New York: Dodd, Mead & Company, 1944., 1944. First edition. First edition. 8vo. Author's first book. Fine in fine dust jacket with some minor internal restoration by a professional conservator. A beautiful copy of this scarce wartime book in an equally beautiful dust jacket. When Professor Robert Branch's best friend is found dead, he knows that it can't have been suicide. He is certain that it is murder .... a murder arranged by a Nazi espionage group operating on campus. The only trouble is, no one will believe him. Branch also knows that those same Nazis will have him eliminated as soon as it is convenient. He's even narrowed his choice of executioner down to three ... a psychotic homosexual, a respected educator, and the women he loves! Housed in a cloth clamshell case with a leather label on the spine and titles stamped in gold gilt
