Good Thriller - Margaret Truman's Experiment in Murder by Donald Bain

Celebrating my birthday today with a review of the latest novel I read (I LOVE reading mysteries). 
  The late Donald Bain is one of my favorite authors and he penned some of the "Margaret Truman Capital Crimes series." I recently finished "Experiment in Murder." It was a good book that kept you wanting to get to the ending. The characters were interesting and engaging and the plot was gripping about a psychiatrist who implored mind control to get others to kill people for him. It's a page turner. I won't give away the ending, but it didn't resolve the way I thought it would. 

ABOUT THE BOOK
When a Washington psychiatrist is found dead in his office, Mackenzie Smith is called in to defend one of his patients who has become a suspect. Then information emerges that links the slain shrink to a highly secret CIA mind control project.

A programmed assassin strikes and kills the wildly popular frontrunner in the presidential race. As a result of the assassination, the other government agencies have become aware of the rogue CIA program. They want to infiltrate it, and Mac Smith's client, the accused killer, seems to be their perfect spy. But the assassin is programmed to kill anyone who threatens him or his organization, which includes Mac and his wife, Annabel and Nicholas Tatum, another psychologist who suspects what's really going on. 

….Margaret Truman thrills again with Experiment in Murder, the riveting next installment in her Capital Crimes series.
