Detective Daneel Olivaw was a robot. When Lije Baley was summoned by the police to investigate the murder of a leading scientist, he was told his new partner would be a special robot - created by the murdered man himself! News of the crime had to be kept secret. It also had to be solved before hostile space-towners could use it to cause political upheaval. Olivaw's identity had to be kept secret. Anti-robot feeling was reaching riot proportions. The mission was almost impossible - for a human. Detective Baley found Olivaw's way to the truth the most terrifying experience of his life. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~. 2.

Solarians had so isolated themselves that direct contact with others was unbearable. All interpersonal dealings were conducted by solid-seeming trimensional projections. Now there was a murder! Someone was close enough to beat him - while he was attended by his robots. Robots couldn't have done it - the first Law of Robotics would not let them harm a human. No weapon was found. It seemed a paradox. So authorities sent for Baley, who was delighted to find his old partner robot, Daneel Olivaw, would join him. Humans aided by intelligent positronic robots had colonized worlds of other suns. This was a time of growing concern between Earthmen & Spacers. Baley - filled with Earth's prejudices against robots & Spacers - must learn to work with a seemingly-human robot to solve impossible crimes that threaten the fragile link between Earth & space..
