First published 2013
Derec opens his eyes in Robot City with his past completely erased. The sprawling mechanical metropolis stretches endlessly around him, populated by robots that no longer follow their programming. Katherine appears at his side, claiming she knows his true identity but refusing to reveal it. When the robots discover a human corpse, the Three Laws of Robotics should make investigation simple. A robot cannot harm a human, so the killer must be human. But in this city gone wrong, nothing follows the expected rules. Derec and Katherine must navigate the twisted streets and malfunctioning machines while dodging death at every turn. The murder investigation becomes secondary to a more pressing question: who is Derec, and why can't he remember? Katherine holds the answers, but her silence may kill them both. As they dig deeper into the city's secrets, Derec realizes his forgotten past may be the key to their survival. In Robot City, memory is the difference between life and death.
