Features: On the distant planet of Solaria, the first mysterious murder case occurs. Solarian civilization is rooted in the extensive use of robots as slaves, with people isolated from each other, never interacting. No Solarian can bear to be in contact with anyone other than their spouse throughout their lifetime. The victim in this case is the male head of the household, and all evidence suggests his wife could not have been the murderer. So, could it be a robot? However, according to the Three Laws of Robotics, robots are not allowed to kill. Earth undercover detective Elijah Baley is assigned to solve this case. He is also an Earthling permitted to enter the outer world, and thus he can gather many truths about the outer world that Earthlings are eager to know.
