The Naked Sun by Isaac Asimov

The Naked Sun by Isaac Asimov - 288 pages
Book 2 of The Robot Series

Elijah Baley and his partner, R. Daneel Olivaw, are once again called in to investigate a murder.  This time, they are assigned to Solaria, a planet that has taboos against physical contact and other "Earthman" oddities and is the most advanced planet in regards to robotics.  If Solarians refuse to see each other in-person, then who committed the murder?  Robots are the only other "living" entities around Solarian estates capable, but what about the Three Laws of Robotics?  If robots can't let harm come to a human, how did a man get killed?
