CAVES OF STEEL, THE

Detective Elijah Baley investigates the murder of an offworlder in Spacetown. In the opinion of the Spacers, the murder is tied up with recent attempts to sabotage the Spacer - sponsored project of converting Earth to an integrated human/robot society on the model of the Outer Worlds. To search for a killer in the City's vast caves of steel, Elijah is assigned a Spacer partner named R.Daneel. That's Robot Daneel. And notwithstanding the celebrated Three Laws of Robotics, which should make such a murder impossible, R.Daneel is soon Elijah's prime suspect.
