"Formula for Murder" by Lee Gregor is a crime fiction novel written during the late 1950s. The story intricately weaves elements of psychological thrillers and science fiction, exploring the implications of advanced psychotherapeutic techniques being used in a high-stakes environment. The plot examines the motivations and psychological turmoil surrounding the murder of a professor aboard a space station, delving into themes of madness, ambition, and the darker sides of scientific discovery. The narrative follows Jim Britten, a young physicist whose life takes a catastrophic turn after an incident in which his mentor, Professor Glover, dies during a maintenance mission on a space station. Initially believed to be an accident, Britten's memories begin to unravel as he undergoes therapy, revealing a motive rooted in his fear of losing academic recognition. As the investigation unfolds, it becomes apparent that Britten harbors deeper secrets tied to a nefarious organization with ties to his past, complicating the motives behind Glover's death. The tension escalates as Britten's true identity and his capability for manipulation come to light, ultimately questioning the nature of truth, loyalty, and the ethics of scientific exploration.
