Mirror Image (Asimov)

Mirror Image was a 1972 short story by Isaac Asimov, originally collected in The Best of Isaac Asimov.

After having received numerous requests to continue the story of detective Elijah Baley and his robot R. Daneel Olivaw, featured in his earlier works such as The Caves of Steel and The Naked Sun, Asimov wrote this short detective story of an intellectual property ownership dispute between two scientists. After an assistance request from Daneel, the Three Laws of Robotics are once again used by Elijah to solve the mystery, when he interrogates the robot servants of the two scientists.
