		Elijah is forced by his superiors to act as both detective and spy, keeping Earth's interests as his top priority.

		Elijah's exuberant meeting with Olivaw is shadowed by his general distrust for robots, even though Elijah was supposed to have developed moderate levels of understanding and open-mindedness by the end of the first novel.

	The Robots of Dawn - SCIFIPEDIA
		This time, Elijah Baley is summoned from Earth to the planet Aurora (a name that means “dawn,” hence the title) to solve what is not really a crime: the destruction, or murder, of a robot.
		Baley investigates the murder with the aid of his old partner, R. Daneel Olivaw, who, as a native of Aurora is an enormous asset; they are joined, in this investigation, by a more conventional looking robot named Giskard, loaned to him by Fastolfe.
		Baley’s investigation focuses on Gremionis, a hairdresser who had been making sexual advances to Gladia (casual sex is common on Aurora), but who was spurned constantly; Vasilia, daughter of Fastolfe; and Dr. Amadiro, leader of the globalist party, and a roboticist dedicated to finding the secret to building humaniform robots.

		In this novel, Isaac Asimov first introduced Elijah Baley and R. Daneel Olivaw which would later become his, and more so his readers', favourite protagonists.
		One interesting aspect of the book is the contrast between Elijah, the human detective, and Daneel, the humanoid robot.
		Baley does not react adversely to the disproof of his old contentions; in fact, he and Daneel exit the story walking arm-in-arm.
