n a future of staggering technology, corporations must employ cutting-edge security systems to stay one step ahead of a new breed of thieves. And detectives need all the help they can get. That's why Broderick Manz uses robot as his assistants. When high-tech pharmaceuticals are stolen, the perfect crime is turned over to the perfect crime-solvers.
Snarky robots, assassination attempts, insurance adjustors, and a classic locked room mystery, mixed with humor. This describes "Greenthieves", one of Foster's lesser-known science fiction novels, and one I'm glad I've run into. Plenty of fun!
